  • Anonymous Mar 12, 2014

    I have a Dodge Dakota 1991 3.9, 5 speed 2 wd. The engine turns over very freely but it won't start. When I roll the truck just a few feet a d release the clutch it starts immediately. I have replaced the ignition switch, th coil, distributrt cap and rotor. Autozone reps suggested clutch safety switch but I don't think that year had one, at least I don't find it where it is supposed to be located. Please help.

Go to Didgeforums.com.

I had a similiar problem, found the solution there. It was the wiring harnes on the drivers side under the hood, just above the wheel well. there are a cluster of wires in a bundle. I unpacked the bundle carefuly and sure enough the were two or three wires all coroded, had wite powder from corosion. repaired the connections and bingo. I posted details at dodgeforums.com. browse around there. I posted pictures as well. this is a common problem.

Why does my 2001 Dodge Dakota with 3.9 engine and manual transmission not start? I have 50 psi at fuel rail. I have replaced....crank sensor, distributor cap and rotor, pick up coil below cap, spark plug...
First - Make sure that your spark plug wires are connected in the proper firing order, Second - Check your injectors to make sure that they are not clogged and are actually delivering fuel (Some models are not self-priming) and you might need to put a small amount of fuel in each cylinder. If none of this helps I would check the timing sequence to be certain that each cylinder is firing at top dead center!

1992 dakota stalls , no spark , let cool off restarts
Under distributor cap, there is a round plate that your wiring harness for distributor plugs into. Remove the rotor, and pull that round plate up, disconnect from harness and replace it. Referred to as pick-up plate. Know for those exact symptoms.

My 93 dodge Dakota. 3.9 cuts out. I replaced rotor and cap and spark plugs and wire. Not sure what's going on.
These trucks have corrosion issues in the wiring connections as they age. I would start at the left fenderwell and unplug the starter relay and check those plug contacts first. When my 1992 150 did this, I ended up unhooking and cleaning all the plug in connections on that side of the truck, including the computers. I added di-electric grease to the terminals as well. The problem has not come back. You did not say if the truck restarts hard or not. The ignition pick up inside the distributor may also be a problem, but those normally will just stop working all at once.

Every time it rains my 1995 Dodge Dakota 4x4 will not run very well at this time it will not start. Any help will be appreciated.
Sounds like it needs a tune up. Plug wires and distributor caps don't like moisture.

I have a 95 dodge dakota magnum 5.2 it has a studdering, missfire sound in the exhaust. It occurs when you let off the gas. Could you please help. thank you email me at [email protected]
It sounds like the hall effect sensor located in the distributor. Its relatively easy to change, remove the distributor cap and rotor underneath the cap, the sensor is retained by two screws, unplug the plug in and replace it with a new unit.a new I also recomend a new rotor.If you continue driving it the sensor will go completely out leaving you stranded.
