So I recently bought a 1998 Dodge Dakota with a 5.2 v8. Drove it for around 2 weeks, no problem (except the gauges don't work). Then all of a sudden, the truck won't start. Let me be more specific, the truck starts, idles for a second or two, then shuts off. That's about the best way that I can explain it. But I posted a Youtube video entitled "1998 Dodge Dakota Won't Stay Running" I tried to put a link to the video but it won't work. If anyone has any advice or knows what the problem is, write a reply. Thanks very much!
Try swapping the ASD relay with another one, (there are a fair few of them in there, that are all the same.) grab something not required, like the horn relay. See if the problem goes away.

Tried that, didn't work, sorry. I've swapping fuses, sanding grounds, TPS and IAC stuff, so at this point I'm thinking it's a bad wiring connection possibly?
