What's the PCM splice about? I just read about it on another post. I have a 1998 Dakota V6, does this apply?

Message:
Perhaps - certainly in the early 1990s. There is a factory splice of power wires to the relay box and computer that was very poorly terminated. For some of us, the computer, starter relay or ASD relay would without warning or intermittently lose power, resulting in crank with no start, no cranking, or stalling.

Look at the "T-junction" of bundled wires near the windshield washer jug. You have to cut away the outer sleeving to get at the splice. Clean and solder the connections securely, then wrap them in friction tape (works better than electrical tape in cold weather and oil exposure).

The G2 trucks 92 to 96 had the problem and it was
a common thing the newer trucks it was not common
but it did happen

my 95 with 10,000 miles had the prob

what it was is a power wire plug in splice inside
of the harnas about a foot back from the power
dist box under hood you need to undo the harnas
to find it

IGN
comp
fuel pump
ASD

its a red wire poorly put togather with a slip
plug cut this out and solder all togather the TSB
recomends plastic or vinal elect tape than cover
with friction tape tec service bulliton

Sometimes the catcon clogs and the heat backs up and cooks the EGR. You might have a clogged catcon.
