No start after battery reset..?
I have a 2000 dodge dakota 4.7l with an auto trans.
Anyway, to make a long story short, i think i got some water in the intake while driving home. When i was on the freeway the check engin light came on and i lost power. The RPMs wont revpast 2500, with or with out load. I then preformed a battery reset in hopes to make it home. After the 20min battery reset the truck would just crank but not fire.
Checked faults and found one "1 trip" and the second "secondary #$@$%" cant rember. Checked the cam sensor, fuel pressure, (4.0bar) injector pulse and power to the coils. At the coils I didnt see the PCM closing the ground to fire the coil. (no spark)
I am thinking its a bad PCM but was wondering if there is some keyfob/pcm sync as a anti-theft. If so did I throw off the roling code when I performed a battery reset, or did the PCM take a **** just as i did this...?
Sorry for the long post, just trying to get it all out!
Thanks,
Chris

hmm when my pcm went out from water it was firing off all kinds of different codes that had nothing to do with anything and then it would stumble and not be able to get out of its own way.
