97 dodge dakota




By jh_kent on May 02, 2009

" "
My 97 Dodge Dakota with the 3.9 will not start and is not showing any codes when I scan it. After I enter "erase codes", it will start and runs ok. I recently tuned it up (i.e., wires caps, plugs, inigtion coil, new catalytic converter, O2 sensors, and Cam Shaft Position sensor.) Before, I was getting aP0351 code and it was backfiring and stalling. Now I am not getting any codes, but having the problem first described.

- Fuel Pressure is per mfg specs.

I am thinking it is more electrical, maybe a loose or dirty connection

Thanks.
