Oh ok, I'm not familiar with those kinds of coils. But if its like you mentioned, the coil could definately be overheating as you drive the truck and causing the problem you're having!

 

after changing out the coil. this still does the same thing. I have recorded a video of what it does, the audio is crap. I was talking, atleast you can see what it does from the dash.

My guess is that you have a wire problem. I think the computer power is cutting on and off.

 

Well thought i would share the info, http://contentinfo.autozone.com/znet...923/2/image/8/
the end of the rotor was down to the plastic. Ill put photo up tommorow. Just for giggles i decided to change out the distributor, and noticed the rotor. Also had a leak from the waterpump gasket, and replaced the pump and gasket for under 30.

I'm glad to be driving the dakota again, its surely been through hell and back with me.

 

Good Job!
