I have a '91 Dynasty 3.3 and mine did the same thing. After changing the map sensor, fuel pressure regulator and a couple others I went to a bone yard picked up a SMEC (which I was advised that it was probaly the colpit) I pluged it in and it's been running since. Knock on wood..these dam Dynasty's have something in the SMEC that when it thinks it is being stolen it will automaticly cut of the fuel supply. Good luck
By "start but no idle" I assume you mean the engine starts up for a second or two and then dies, as opposed to running fine except at idle. I have an 89 Dynasty 3.0 which did a similar thing. It would start and run for maybe 3 seconds and then die, and the problem was worse when it was hot. long story short, after several mis-diagnosis from several shops including the local dealership, the problem turned out to be the fuel pump which is located in the tank. After paying $75 for the pump at NAPA and $100 labor, I was back on the road running fine.
on the 89 dynasty, it is located right next to the thermostat

computer , coil or distributor are most likely culprits
Every wire behind the radio is seperately labeled as to where it goes.
an '89" huh? maybe because they didnt start making them until 1995?
when you look at the engine from the front it is on the left , right behind the alternator use a funnel it will spill
I had the same prob in a 90 Caravan when rats got up into the dash and chewed on some wires... the van started and ran as long as gas pedel was pushed down... Im not saying that rats chewed your wires but it might just be some of the wires that's under the dash are getting old like and falling apart on you...
Go to AutoZone.com... They give Free diagrams about how to fix it. With detailed pics and all on fixing it.
what type of auto transmission is in a 89 dodge dakota 3.9
it's just a bad ajusting of a carburetor, you can ajust it on the top of the carburetor by turning a bolt for put the idle more high
The Idle Air Control is on the throttle body.
My 89 shadow did that. The 89 and the 94 have similar body styles so id have to say that it's your oil sending unit(a little wire with a red casing) became detached. Itll make your car Idle low and your car will stall and stutter
