Default Recently changed the drivers side fender and niw truck wont stay started help!

Hi all, i recently hit a deer and decided to change my driver side fender where the deer hit.. I changed it with a durango fender and once i got everything back together my truck wont stay running and i can only get it started by pumpin the gas...i dont know if maybe i cross something up and put a ground in the wrong place. My dakota was running with no probs before this... Please help
thanks ryan

Is this the 2000 3.9?

Double check your grounds. Make sure they are CLEAN and TIGHT.
Do you have any codes? Do the key dance.

With the truck not running, turn the key to RUN, don't start the truck. Then turn it OFF, back to RUN, OFF again, and finally leave it in RUN. Any codes will display in the odometer window. It'll show PDONE when finished.

How's the battery?
