Dodge B150 w/ 3.9L stalls at highway speeds

Jun 01, 2006 5 Replies

My 94 Dodge B150 van (about 150k) with a 3.9L tbi stalls at highway speeds. No bucking, coughing, rough runing or any other warning symptom -- just dies at 60 mph. Also dies at low speeds and sometimes also at idle -- same way. Sometimes it will restart imediately, sometimes I must wait two or three minutes before it will start. Did complete tune-up: air & gas filters, wires, plugs, cap, rotor, egr valve. No codes set other than egr. Drove it about



200 continous miles at 65/70 mph with no problem. Next day it stalled four times within 30 miles at 65 mph Doesn't appear to be weather related - stalls on both wet & dry days. Anyone have any ideas here?

If you have the original cat it could be clogged.

It could be the PCM as well. Try disconnecting the battery overnight to purge everything from it and see what happens.

The pickup in the distributor. Disconnect the pickup cable and check the continuity while wiggling the cable.

I would check fuel filter and pump first.
