I'm guessing this Intrepid is a 3.5 cause I have never had this problem with a 3.3 But what I found what always caused it in a 3.5 is bad intake gaskets allowing more air to flow into the engine. Change both upper and lower intake gaskets and this should fix the problem. However when changing the lower intake gaskets there are two bolts that are probably gonna give you problems. The one closest to the front and the one closest to the back. They are the bolts that hold the intake down and go into the head near the coolant ports. These bolts are probably going to break off. The good news is they most of the time break off and there is still a lot of bolt left once you get the intake off to get a vice grips on. Have a torch with a good heating tip handy and someone that really knows how to use it and heat the cyl head around the bolt and then try to get it out with the vice grips, but be very careful cause heating aluminium can be very tricky too much heat and you ruined the head.

MY 97 INTREPID WILL START BUT WONT IDLE,THE ONLY WAY TO DRIVE RIGHT NOW IS WHEN COMMING TO A STOP, FEATHERING BRAKE WITH GAS,IM THINKING IT COULD BE SOMETHING IN FUEL SYSTEM,PUMP,FILTER,OR INJECTORS. ANY...

Most common culprit is whats called the IAC or idle Air Control Valve. It maintains the vehicles engine idle speed when you are not pressing on the gas pedal. You can eithe clean the valve assembly by removing it from the throttle body so u can access the air passage also, or just replace it with a new one and a new gasket. b eusr eot clean the air pasage too since you have it off. the only other thing is to have a reputable repair facility runa full diagnostic test on the engine systems and see what they say.
I hope this helps.
