I had this problem on another car. As I recall, the gasoline's octane was too low for the engine. Oh, how well I do remember that infuriating problem. Maybe in your case you can either up the grade of the gasoline or tune the car to accept what you are using. I am just a driver, not a mechanic. Hope you get better answer.
Dodge Dakota V6's didn't have a crank sensor until 1992.
Inside the distributor

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?
Leaking injector is the most common cause.
Group 34, approx 600 cold crank amps
A 1989 Dakota uses the distributor pick up plate for the crank signal. It is the plastic plate under the rotor inside the distributor cap.
