I have a 2002 Dakota 3.9 showing a PO 205. Have replaced plugs, plug wires, distributor cap, rotor and #5 fuel injector. Most of the time it runs perfect. However, occasionlly when accelerating from a stop sign it will pause and misfire for about 5 or 10 seconds and almost die. This happens about 20% of the time. Anybody out there know what my problem is?

 

1. First, using a DVOM check the resistance of the injector. If it isn't within specs, then replace the injector.
2. Check for voltage at the fuel injector connector. It should have 10 volts or more.
3. Visually check the connector for damage or broken wires.
4. Visually check the injector for damage.
5. If you have access to an injector tester, activate the injector and see if it operates. If the injector operates, then you likely have either an open in the wiring, or a blocked injector. If you do not have access to a tester, swap the injector with another one and see if the code changes. If the code changes, then change the injector.
6. At the PCM, remove the driver wire from the PCM connector and Ground the wire. (Make sure you have the correct wire. If you're not sure, do not attempt) The injector should activate
7. Replace the injector
