I have a 1996 GMC 1/2 Ton Pickup, 4.3L V6, Auto, 2WD, that cuts out and sometimes won't start. The problem seems to be related to how much it has rained...it just rained several days straight and it was running rough, and today it won't start. This happens every time it rains, and when it's dry for a long time, it's hardly ever a problem.

Here is JD Powers specs on the Dakota

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help) Good luck.

Here is a easy check. Remove the air cleaner. Behind the throttle body you will find the coil. It's about the size of a baseball. It's black and has a big wire coming out of the top. Once located. With the truck off. reach over and grabb the center part of the coil (not the metal part). See if it wiggles. If it does, you need to replace it because it's shorting out the coil and cutting off the ignition. If it seems tight on the metal bracket it's more than likely ok. Replace the fuel filter, is your next option. Under drivers seat under truck inside the frame rail.
BE CAREFUL When you loosen this thing gas will spray everywhere. These things are metal with hex nuts on them. They are like 8 bucks or so. Good Luck
