Default 1994 Dodge Dakota cannot get it to run right

I have a 1994 Dodge Dakota with a 5.2 magnum. I’ve had it for around 5 years the second year I owned it the transmission went out replaced the trans and accidentally broke the crankshaft position sensor and it has never ran right again I’ve tried everything to correct the issues and still have yet to get it running right. I’ve replaced the crankshaft position sensor,ECM,full tune up,flywheel,and put another transmission in it. I am not mechanically inclined whatsoever learning as I go. I’ve had mechanics look at it and they have been stumped as well. Any help is greatly appreciated thanks.

Howdy. I can feel your frustration. However, nobody will know where to start with your issue. You will have to go into specifics. Only thing gathered from your post is that it’s not running right. That could mean a million things. Tell us what you mean by not running right. For example, truck stalls when coming to a light, sounds like it is missing, no power. What specifically is it doing

Reading the OP the only thing I think of is the TV cable is not adjusted properly. You can read through the FAQ section or do as fatmike suggested and post the actual symptoms.

Need one of those thingies you put on top of the TV that rotate the cable so you can point it in the right direction.
