I have a 94 dakota 5 spd I filled fuel tank to filler neck and was driving 40 mph about 8 miles from shell sta when motor lost power I floored it got no response it sputtered and died.I could get it to start and idle and it would die after 30-45 seconds.I waited 10 minutes it started I put it into 1st it drove 15 yards and it died again.I went home to get vehicle to tow dakota home I returned 2 hours later I started it and it ran normal so I pulled out onto road drove it to stop sign about 100 yards and died again . I towed it home next day it would start and idle for about 1 minute then quit .It started for me 5x now it won't start,I'm quessing it might be a fuel problem I figured bad gas maybe fuel filter,I went to parts store and they told me this dakota has a internal filter and I need to replace fuel pump cost $160.00 It seems to be a fuel problem but I'm not sure are there some other things that would cause this? what should I be checking. I also checked for codes and I got 23 and 5

| I recently acquired a 1999 dodge Dakota from my sister that is rough on vehicles. She said it ran hot, so she replaced the radiator. When I went to pick it up it starts fine but there is a knocking noise in the engine. I checked and there is water in the oil. How do I check to see if she messed up a head or a gasket? Also since the oil is floating on top of the water could this be why it knocks? If I change the oil do you think the knocking will go away? I plan to fix it up for my step son, and don't have a lot of money. Any answers would be greatly appreciated. | |

Replying to: deputy235 (Sep 15, 2008 11:31 am) The detection of coolant in the oil or a bad head gasjket can be diagnosed. I would recommend you perform these tests or have your local repair establishment perform them for you first. Mopars aren't noted for having head gasket problems and I haven't seen or even heard of one in years. A bad intake manifold gasket can cause a problem, however. In the meantime I would change out the oil and see if the knock goes away. If it does it indicates that there was probably too much moisture (water) in the oil. Then perform the test for coolant and proceed accordingly. Good luck, Dusty

Replying to: deputy235 (Sep 15, 2008 11:31 am) HINT: Check if your Dakota has rack-n-pinion steering (1st available in MY2000) To more specifically answer your question "How do I check to see if she messed up a head or a gasket?" The common way is to do a "bleeddown test" and a "compression test".
