Good 98 Dakota engine cutoff for no reason
Hi,
New to the forums.. Not sure I'm even on the right spot.
I have a base 98 Dakota club cab 3.9L auto 2wd..this thing runs great! Purrs.. Except.. It will just cut off driving.. For no reason.. Hot.. Cold.. Doesn't matter.. Going 55?..cut off... Idle.. Cutoff... Whenever it likes. It is very frustrating.. Not to mention dangerous. I've done the following :
1.Distributor cap and rotor
2.pick-up coil
3.TPS
4.ignition coil
5.plugs/wires
6.Crankshaft position sensor
7.fuel pressure check
8.air filter (factory box)
ANY SUGGESTIONS??!
She also throws general misfire codes and O2 codes
Great truck.. Bad disposition.. HELP PLEASE!!

You want to be in the Second Gen Dak Section... I'll move this there for ya.
If you have changed a bunch of parts, and the symptoms DON'T change, then you still haven't gotten to the right part. Sounds a lot like PCM failing to me.....
