Check for any stored codes, on 97 models you may have to turn on the key without starting the engine, do this 5 times in rapid order then stop with the key in the on position without starting the car.

The service engine soon light will blink

Count the number of blinks

This will be the begining of the code test and the actual code numbers and finally a code number stating the test is over.

Look up the codes in the haynes repair manual and it will lead you in the right direction for any parts that have thrown an error code.

Cutting out dying and backfiring

by the picture I'm assuming it is a dodge Dakota, must have engine light on, check codes, if you do not have a tool, go to auto zone, they will give you a print out for free. resend, if you have codes for misfire, cylinder 135 or 246 the PCM is junk.

1997 Dodge Dakota 2WD with A/C. 135000 miles. Blower fan stopped working after a period of working intermittently. How do I replace it? It seems to be buried behind the dash and the ventilation air...

Wait, before you change that blower motor try replacing the blower motor resistor.It is located on the fire wall on the passanger side, under the hood. Should cost about 10 to 12 dollars and take about five minutes.Dakota's seem to go through these regularly.
