#4300 of 4362 1990 dodge Dakota by dave392 Aug 17, 2006 (9:31 am)
1990 dodge Dakota driving down the hwy and the engine just quits running no cough just dies, I find it has no spark checked the coil has 12v to it and 1.5 ohm across the terminal the cap and rotor look’s good At this point I’m stuck. I need some help on the next steps to take to go to from here.   It cranks but wont start or run it has no spark it has no antitheift device, the Neutral Safety Switch is will keep it from cranking. but not keep the spark from happening from what I believe.

Replying to: dave392 (Aug 17, 2006 9:31 am) I had the same problem with my 1990 dakota, riding at 65 in rush hour traffic when everything died. I was able to get it going again to get it home. Diagnosis was a new computer and distributor by a reputiple mechanic. Just a thought. I also had a Chevy Blazer that would crank but would not start, that also needed a distributor.

#4303 of 4362 Follow-Up: Engine Roaring Noise - Just Started by kelly_dakota Aug 23, 2006 (6:23 am)
Replying to: dustyk (Aug 02, 2006 3:12 pm) Just to follow-up on the engine roaring noise. The repair shop took out the fan clutch they originally put in and put in a new one from Dodge and the noise has stopped! So I guess in this case you just have to pay an extra 60 bucks to have some silence.

At about 5000 miles my dakota started shimmying when the breaks are applied. The dealer has replaces the breaks 3x's also fixing rotters,and replacing them.This last time they replaces my line because they said they thinned it out two many times.The shimmying always comes back about 4000-5000 miles after they fix them. this last time they fixed them,he said It still has the shimmying but will go away when the pads adjust to my roters.WILL this Shimmying ever go away????????????/ Replies to this message: dewaltdakota (Aug 25, 2006 5:03 pm) eharri3 (Aug 30, 2006 1:27 pm) bpeebles (Aug 30, 2006 7:20 pm)

Replying to: missmae (Aug 25, 2006 11:25 am) The 05/06 Dakota "shimmy-shimmy-shake" is a widely reported issue, with numerous dealers making many varied attempts to resolve the problem. I've yet to hear of anyone coming across the true solution to this issue.

Replying to: slade (Aug 26, 2006 9:29 pm) It has been mentiond many times in previous appends how to check to see if your brakes are dragging. It is a simple check you can do by just driving and then feeling for heat.   Please review the archives for details.   As for a "fix" for dragging front brakes.... replacement of the sticky caliper is the ONLY long-term fix. Anything else would be a temporary band-aid.   For reference - My 2000 Dak had both front calipers start to stick within 3 months of each other. In both cases, I installed rebuilt caliper and have never had another issue with dragging brakes.

Replying to: jody (Jul 07, 2004 5:09 pm) How much did it cost to replace the speed sensor valve? I have the same problem.   Auto Zone has a diagnostic tester that they lend to anyone who has I.D. The don't advertise this fact, but it is good to know.  My '99 dakota has 70,000 miles and the speedometer went out, in turn the , the ABS light came on AND the red brake lamp. The problem turned out to be the speed sensor valve, mounted on the rear differential housing. What really sucks is that you might think you can do without the speedometer for awhile, but when the ABS light comes on,it's telling you that it automatically turned itself off. Better not slam on your breaks!
