2004 Dodge ram 3.7 , code PO300 , engine light on, misfires worst over 45 mph.

Clean MAF and Throttle Body first. Then start looking at electrics. Ideally, you need a high end scan tool to look at the raw data and freeze frame.

Vehicle stalls when turning and at highway speed

Check motor mounts and transmission mount
Also check the air tube (TOP AND BOTTOM) for hairline crack.

Car starts but as soon as you put your foot on accelerator it clonks out.

Hello
The engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPENDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Check engine light has been on for a few months, and flashing whenever i accelerate between 20-45 MPH. now whenever i start it, the engine shakes and shutters for 5-10 seconds before either idleing normal...

Why is the check light on for months?
As soon as you get a light on, you have the possibility of a stored code, and a place to start your diagnostic testing, immediately.
After 30 years of electronic systems, installed on vehicles, I don't see why people don't understand how their vehicles function.
Take it to a repair shop, as soon as the light comes on. Then you find out what may be the issues, where as waiting, could possibly cause further problems or damage.
