Engine misfire maybe . You state it happens after 40 , Is the vehicle under a load ? accelerating ? steady pull ? Plugs , wires , dist. cap , rotor etc.... Clogged injector ?
I had a similar problem with my Dodge truck.I replaced the cap, rotor, plugs and wires and the check engine light went out. Within 4 days the light came back on with codes for multiple misfires..To make a long story short, I put electrical tape on the wires to adjacent cylinders and the problem was solved. Answer; The pluig wires they are making for Dodge are really cheap!
IF CHECK ENG. LIGHT WAS FLASHING OR STILL FLASHING YOU HAVE MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE, HAVE YOU PERFORM A MAJOR TUNE UP: SPARK PLUGS, CAP, ROTOR, WIRE SET, CLEAN THROTTLE BODY, RESET SENSORS?LET ME KNOW
still sounds like the timing belt/chain to me,especially since it just shut off goin down the road, had a 93 that did the same thing,dodge has a kind of safety switch that if the timing belt breaks the engine will shut down to keep you from tearing anything else up.
