I'm lookin at buying a 93 dakota that was running when the guy drove it in to work. He says he hit a bump in the road, and it coughed, sputtered, and died. He's no mechanic, but his son is, and he looked at it as good as he could over the weekend with his son on the phone, and cant get it going. The symptoms I've gathered are he has spark, it cranks, but doesnt seem to fire, although like I said it has spark. and I'm sure he would have checked for fuel....so I'm thinking timing chain? I'm more of a smaller foreign engine guy myself, with timing belts, and some engines are "interference" wich destroys the valves if the belt goes. Do dakotas (the V6) mess up the valves if the timing chain goes?
surely its worth 200-300 huh? he's ready to scrap it, and I think at worst, I could use the transmission for my jeep?
