I got three ideas.1) Crank sensor
2)Idle Air Control Valve
3)Fuel Pump
Almost certain it's one of these.
Leaking injector is the most common cause.
Dodge Dakota V6's didn't have a crank sensor until 1992.
if it backfires when driving most crank sensors cause this
Inside the distributor
top of bellhousing
fuel pump?
Yes
Add fuel, and crank.
most crank sensors are for engine timing with the cam shaft, the distributor on at least 97' dodge and newer controls fuel timing.
No crank reference signal.
If the crank sensor is not working, the engine will not run.
No crank sensor on a 1990, only the pickup plate (cam sensor) in the distributor. how about a 1991?
