Help 98 Dakota missfires

Jun 20, 2005 6 Replies

Been to dealer twice now. They replace plugs first time and wires, cap, rotor second time. It is still missfireing and stalling. Only cyl 6 & 8 are missfiring. Any others had this or any ideas as to why just 6 & 8? Thanks Greg


Don't know, that is what I told them to check when I dropped it off this time. BTW mileage is 67K Greg

The mileage is far from excessive. I would look into possibly swapping out the injectors from the misfiring cylinders with ones from normal firing ones and see if the misfire follows the injectors. If it does, then you know the problem is.bad injectors.

Did they check fuel pressure at the fuel rail?My 94 dakota V6 is missing due to a bad fuel pump a $650 job by a independant mech.I am going to do it my self .Try a google search for dodge truck by amsole there is a lot of info there.Dodge truck eat fuel and water pumps JW

Well, they checked fuel and injectors today. They now think it's the ECM..running more tests tomm. Greg

Try a search of the forums at dakota.com lots of info there JW
