I have a 96 v6 dakota 5speed manual single cab. I have replaced the distributer, cap and rotar, spark plugs, spark plug wires, injectors and cam sensor. The codes that would show up were random/miltiple misfire and misfire on 3, now its random/multiple misfire, and misfires on 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6. I need to pass emissions to sell this truck. Does anyone know where to get an engine harness for relatively cheap or something thst will fix this problem?

 

Have you looked into the 3 and 1 splice under the fuse box? From what I have been told if this splice breaks or even gets corroded it can start doing some pretty funky things.

 

You know, I am skeptic that your distributor is wired correctly. Since you had one code, and then 5 codes of misfire. Obviously noone is there to check your wiring, but recheck the correct cylinders, order, and DIRECTION.

 

check your ignition coil. i had an issue a few years back where my truck would occasionally back fire and 1 day when i needed to pick my friend up at teh airport i couldn't get the thing to do over 20mph.

 

My Dad had a similar issue in his 91 Dakota. He changed the plugs and it missed terrible. Turns out the truck didn't like Champion plugs. We changed to Autolite and the miss is gone. Go figure.......

 

Check the ignition coil and the pick up coil in the distributor
