#29 of 68 Re: 93 Dakota - Intermittent fuel pump problem? [bhc69] by dustyk Sep 20, 2008 (1:28 pm)
Replying to: bhc69 (Sep 19, 2008 1:47 pm) My sister had a Buick Regal with an intermittent fuel pump. It took over a year for the dealer to solve the problem, too.   My first suspicion is you have an intermittent electrical connection, especially on a vehicle that old. Another problem could be an intermittent ASD or fuel pump relay.   Good luck, Dusty Replies to this message: bhc69 (Sep 20, 2008 4:31 pm)

Replying to: dustyk (Sep 20, 2008 1:28 pm) Thanks for the advice. This morning it died and I tried switching relays around with no luck, then checked the wiring from the PDC to the firewall but found no breaks. I bit the bullet and spent $200 on a new fuel pump, put that in and the truck runs fine now -- knock on wood.   Thanks again. Brian
#31 of 68 2004 Dodge Dakota V8 kills after warming up. by edbisme Sep 30, 2008 (12:23 pm)
I drove home, about 25 miles, the truck killed and wouldn't start. After about an hour, it cranked and ran about 5 miles and killed again. I checked for codes but displays none. What can this be? Help!!
#32 of 68 Truck stalls after starting / won't idle by klesue2008 Oct 13, 2008 (3:26 pm)
My 2000 Dodge Dakota, 120k miles, won't idle after starting up -- it just stalls completely. However, if I keep it revved and throw it into either reverse or drive before it stalls, it runs fine and will start again with the idle working properly. If I leave it overnight then it will do the same again. Any ideas on what's causing this? Replies to this message: dustyk (Oct 14, 2008 6:23 pm)

Replying to: klesue2008 (Oct 13, 2008 3:26 pm) Possibilities:   Weak or dirty Idle Speed Motor   Dirty/sticking PCV valve   Vacuum leak (Evaporative hoses are a common problem)   Best regards, Dusty
#34 of 68 1992 Dodge Dakota 2wd 5.2 auto.......stalls by jlahey Oct 14, 2008 (10:50 pm)
4 months ago: tune-up, 1 month ago: new alternator, 1 month ago: new battery, 8,000 miles ago a new fuel fitler installed. 220,000 miles on the truck   The truck is not a everyday vehicle, but I use it alot in the fall/winter months. When I come to stop signs I notice the rpm's drop and the truck stalls out. It starts right back up when I try. Is it a fuel senor maybe?
#35 of 68 93 dakota stalling at 1200 rpm by dakota1060 Oct 17, 2008 (7:23 pm)
Hello, I am having trouble with my 93 dakota stalling at about 1200 rpm. It has the 3.9 engine in it and about 241,000 miles on it, so it's been around. It starts right up and idles fine and if your fast enough on the pedal it runs ok above 1200. It doesn't matter if your in neutral or if you are accelerating under load. It will start back up after it stalls, but you have to hold the accelerator pedal down. I replaced the throttle position sensor, the fuel pressure regulator, gave it a basic tune up (plugs, cap and rotor, fuel filter, air filter), fixed a vacuum leak, checked the fuel pressure (35 psi), changed the battery. The check engine light is not on. Thank you for any help. Replies to this message: Dakota95 (Feb 18, 2009 11:14 am)
#36 of 68 Dodge Dakota stalls all the time by indedragon Oct 20, 2008 (5:00 pm)
I have a Dodge Dakota 1993 3.9l with the 42RE transmission. It stalls when it is put in either drive or reverse. If you push the car then put it in drive it drives ok until it stops, then same problem. Have changed the fluid and filter removed the carberator and cleaned it replaced all the sensors on carb. new pcv valve checked all vacuum hoses. pulled lower valve body out and checked for stuck valves. Nothing seems to help I was told to replace torque converter so does this seem right. thanks in advance Replies to this message: edbisme (Oct 21, 2008 6:44 am)

Replying to: indedragon (Oct 20, 2008 5:00 pm) I've encountered this problem with a couple of cars. I think your torque converter is locking up. Like a stickshift won't idle without a clutch. It kills when you idle below a certian RPM unless you depress the clutch. In your case the clutch is internal and not engaging therefore when your RPM decreases to a certian point, idle, it kills. Have the trans checked. Most of the places give free inspections. Hope I helped
#38 of 68 Dodge Dakota 2000 Quadcab by verbyal Nov 11, 2008 (10:26 am)
My truck died out on me twice before I was told it was the fuel pump, so it was replaced. It then died out again, the relays were fixed and I was told it was good to go. I had it running for a few days for it to die out yet again the truck won't turn over at all. My mechanic can't seem to figure out which bothers me so I have no idea what to do next to solve the issue. Is it possible the computer is going out on the truck? I need help this is my only vehicle and I need it back. Any help would be appreciated.
