Hello everybody I have 1998 dakota 2wheel 3.9L vehicle Make a long story short, the truck have been stalling and cutting off now for almost 2-3 weeks. Changed the spark plugs, wires distributor cap&rotor, air filter,switched to high-octane gas, had 2 mechs check it out, one said it was my pcm, other one said the truck has a ghost in it.Checked the throttle position sensor, it works great, can hear the fuel pump engage when switch is turned on, fuel pressure gage test was good, no vacuum leaks according to the second mech,Oh truck starts choking after 30-35 min ride to work then just shuts down, very difficult to restart{recrank} again, HHHHEEEELLLLLPPPPPP
Check the plugs for the PCM, take them out, inspect them for corrosion and plug them back in.
The two mechs (especially the one who believes in ghost) are *******. Dumbas$es! I'd never go back to them. You MIGHT have to take it to a Dodge/Chrysler dealer and pay for a diagnosis. Beats tossing money at the engine.

Well took it to a professional [reputable] electrical/mechanical, builds&race cars shop yesterday, and they ran test after test after test diagnostic after dianositic and they said they could not find anything wrong.So they ask to come and drive it and maybe "the symptoms" will reappear again. I'll let ya'll know the results.
