1994 Dodge Dakota Repair Question
Dakota v8 overheating and stalling. Starts right up after day or two. Help?
tested battery
changed wires & plugs
changed air filter
checked fuel pump
put on new coil
the thermostat is only a few months old
added dry gas
cleaned maf
cleaned throttle body
changed pcv valve (it was broken)
I have a scanner coming the mail and I'll put that on but I'm at a loss. This is my work truck and I could really use some help. Thanks for any ideas!
Answer
Oh I forgot I also changed the oil pump because it has an odd issue. When you are idling the oil pressure drops and the light comes on. The pressure is fine, I tested it. Changing the oil pump seems to have helped a little but it still does it, especially when towing.
Checked fuel pump pressure 35-45 psi? check (MIL) light on?
Fuel drained and new added? how long setting up?
Hi, yes the fuel pressure was at 35-45. No MIL light on. I used up all the fuel and added new. This has been doing it for over a month now. I also changed the Oil Sending Unit.
Maybe dirty injectors try SEaFoam in system can get a Walmart
Hi, I put the SeaFoam and still same thing. Any other things I should try?
Pull DIST cap look at contacts see if worn or corroded check for play in rotor ie. shaft and look at Optical sensor see if debris or contact marks present.
