IP: Logged

Message:
My truck is a 92 Dakota 3.9.

The truck runs fine except for when I start it.

The truck will run for a few seconds, then die.

It takes a few tries to get it started sometimes. It seems to do it in the hot weather or the cold weather.

Sometimes I can hold the gas and force it to stay running. After a few seconds, I can usually take my foot off the gas and everything is ok.

Any ideas? Its been doing it for almost 2 years and I've tried many things. o2 sensor, TPS, IAC, etc. How about the manifold air pressure sensor? It was suggested, but its pretty expensive and I hate to waste my money.

That actually makes sense.

Please let me know the details. Price, location on engine, and replacement difficulty.

Thanks!
