Hey I am a newbie..Hello Gang!..My 97 dakota shuts down going down the highway then backfires and tries to crank itself back up sometimes.Then will stall at the light when in drive ,no idle ..PLEASE HELP...SIGNED DESPRATE!!!!

 

Check engine light on? Had it scanned for codes?

 

No check engine lite and yes had codes checked nothing came up.

 

Ok, details, details....did this just start? When was the last tune up? What engine? How many miles? Recent work done/

 

Ok everyone on this site is awesome!..I would love to thank the member that posted my cure for my dakota but I cant remember who posted it....but this is what worked for my 97 Dakota backfiring and cutting off going down highway and stalling...It was in my 3 connectors in wire harness on passenger side under the hood to the left.There's 3 connectors with covers that click in to secure..one of connectors was not clipped in all the way..once I did that she started right up and is running strong with no stalling so far..like day and night and never spent a dime but was getting to spend alot!...No codes ever came up but it just wouldnt run properly...Thanks yall again..I was gonna sell it.....Not now!;]
