 Subject: Stumped about Stalling
IP: Logged
Message:
I have recently bought a 91 Dakota 2.5 as a daily driver for work, it has been having a wierd stalling issue. I can start it fine and it will stay running in the mornings, but as soon as i start driving down the road it will cut out and be a real bear to start and stay running for a good 5-10 min. After a while it will start and run fine all day. Ive changed plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and changed out a bad t-stat. I am stumped on what it could be seeing how i now almost the minimum on auto repair. Pls, any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

You need to get a fuel pressure gauge hooked up and drive it 'till the stalling begins. Look for fluctuation and replace your fuel pump if it proves to be your cause.

It if was the fuel pump, would it only do it in the mornings and then work fine the rest of the day? Thats the only part that I cant get myself to beleive that its a fuel problem. If the gauge isnt hard to come by or hookup, ill gladly try anything ;). Could it be a sensor? I ran a diagnostic check with the "check engine" light and a #11 came up meaning the crankshaft sensor might be bad, but would that cause the same symptoms that i'm seeing?

BUMP
Pls anyone, i realized this morning that you dont even need to drive it for it to stall, i started it and let it warm up and it stalled after about 8-10 minutes, then i had to start it with starting fluid. I really need this fixed and i know there are a lot of highly inclined gearheads in here that know what this could be, thanks in advance. -Josh

Your model year may be less advanced than mine, but having the PCM software "flashed" (updated) took care of a stalling problem for me. I have a '97 3.9L V6 5-speed. It would stall whenever I would dis-engage the clutch while coming to a stop.
