2007 Dakota intermittent won't start
 
I have a 2007 Dakota. It has 204,000 miles. Occasionally when trying to start after I get to destination my truck will crank but not run when starting so I can leave. After about 10 seconds the starter stops cranking by itself. Several more tries and it still won't. Sit 5-10 minutes and sometimes it will start, sometimes it won't. It is not throwing any codes at all. I have replaced starter, and key ignition switch with new key and the ignition switch on other side of steering column. When I crank motor the tach is registering a signal. I have heard bad computer, fuel pump. Don't want to throw parts at it! Has anybody seen this issue or have any paths or tips I can try??

I really appreciate any help I could get!

Thanks

I am having the same issue with my2008 Dodge Dakota. I've changed the fuel pump relay and the crankshaft sensor but neither have solved the problem. If I stop it and attempt to start within about 10 to 15 minutes it will not start. If it sits a while longer it will start fine. Otherwise the engine runs fine all other times. I have just found out if I squirt a shot of starting fluid into the air cleaner it will then start. Have you ever found any possible solutions to this issue. Thanks.

Could it be the starter?

Starter is turning over fine but engine will not start. Spray a little starting fluid and it fires up. Any other time it runs fine.
