Dodge Dakota Durango No Start 

☠

How does one "do mechanics"?

Yes!!! I knew this would be said I’m the comments haha first thing I thought! Lmao

Omg I thought the same thing

Did u find out what the problem was?

The problem was isolated to the ECM. Pin C17. Apparently after so long the pins tend to become loose, causing this sort of problem.

Your welcome.

Donnie Boyles lmfao! I thought the same thing!

FCC e4

😁

Most welcome

It has the 3.9L

Just swap out the distributor ass’y, make sure it is torning while the engine turns over

I have seen coils and crank sensors heat and fail then cool down and work.

Yep it gets hot and dies ....cools down and runs again ....ez fix u can do it!

Thank you so much.

There is a resister that needs to be installed.

How big?

Richard Cowtails I wish i could remember better yet i wish i made a video of it.

haha yea, totally. great idea! good job, man

Yes you can

Lmao

Hey I'm having same issue did you ever find a solution to this

Are you getting spark.

@@RichpinTv Yes I am I am leaning towards the timing chain jumped a tooth.

Spray a little break clean in the intake. If it runs then it's a fuel issue

it gets ground where it mounts

Rusco321, the coil gets power on the green with the red trace, then, the ground, which is controlled by the ecm, is triggered by the inputs of the crank position trigger, and the cam position trigger, which are located at the back of the engine on the passenger side for the crank trigger sensor, and inside the distributor cap for the cam position sensor. If either of those two are failed, then the ecm will not send the proper signal to the coil on the black wire with the white trace.

Do you have remote starter if so its stuck in valet mode

@@mikecollins1752 Hi no remote starter , few days ago my friend and I checked , everything , had spark even after it died , checked fuel pressure and nothing , so have a new pump on its way , had to order off FleeBay as my local dealer here said pump Obsolete from Dodge now here in Canada ...

@@88s10Durango cool good luck

@@88s10Durango was it the pump?

@@TammyMartinBLUE Hi , yes after checking everything it was the fuel pump , I bought just the pump ,,, not the whole canister with the pump , fuel guage , presure regulator all in one , I now wish I had because my fuel presure regulator needs to be replaced . On a side note it is way easier to pull the bolts out of the truck box and lift it or remove it than to drop the fuel tank , much easier and faster . Good luck Bill Make sure you get the right pump !! , Theres a different pump canister for the 16 Gallon and 22 Gallon fuel tanks , the 22 Gallon has a longer ( deeper ) length .. :)

Yes

@Ryan Shepard Yes thank you for reminding me they went to mexico and they don't need it but I am going to get to it this weekend. Thank you Ryan for reminding me.

No you don’t want to stretch those terminals at all

If the engine spins but will not start it could possible be a crank sensor.

But wouldn't that give an error code? Mine will spin but not start when its hot outside and the vehicle is all warmed up. Also, if the crank sensor were bad, wouldn't it idle poorly?

2001 Dakota turns over won't start

sesrch

Is "No Bus" showing up on the dash? There are known issues with the computer solder joints breaking contact with the board from heating and cooling.Common issue with all electronics You need to test for fuel and spark when it happens.

No offense taken i get that a lot...lol

It didn't come on with which wire?

My didnt come on either on the green wire

Bad cam or crank sensor, break in the wires

Bad ECM

It's a bad bcm happened to me I changed the ecm no fix then I went to junk yard and got 1 for 25$ after 500$ on ecm n dealer

usually No bus could be a bad pcm had that same problem with my 99 durango

Go catch the bus

I'm afraid your not understanding the dodge Dakota year 1992 ignition system, he is checking the cam timing sensor including the trucks ECM. Southern California retired diesel mechanic. I own one of these great reliable work horse truck, everything under the hood is controlled by the, known as the Electronic control unit, or Module hence, ECM I'm not sure as why he's using a Led test light for the ECM side of the Coil sencing terminal, at a closer look I see he's pluged the two wires back into the coil after inserting a paper clip on the ECM sencor wire, I'm curious why would a LED light be necessary for checking the, better known as the brain.

@@ronaldbaak3183 the dodge Dakota in the video was most certainly not a 1992

I'm not sure what year it is im trying to find out what is going on with my dodge Dakota, I've changed the timing sensor, changed the ECU, changed the fuel pump changed the coil and changed the solenoids, still no spark.

@@ronaldbaak3183 change the crank sensor

30 bucks mounted to the front of the engine, I’ll take that all day

Try putting the( AC its the same on mine) relay in place of the fuel relay if its that you can get to the parts store & I hope you've already got it going but??

@@TammyMartinBLUE No I disconnect the battery both cables, and let the computer reset it self and after that it stared fine. thanks for the help.

Pick up coil in distributor.

During the period of 'no start',,, have you determined whether is has proper fuel pressure and spark? Several of my 5.2L and one of my 3.9L trucks had fuel pumps that got weak and the engine wouldn't start hot, but WOULD START once it cooled off to ambient temperatures. Basically, you need to find out which system is failing before you know what to replace.

It's not connected to the A?C line LMFAO --he's got it attached to the alternator !! Damn PAY ATTENTION !

Couldn’t have been a bad test, he nailed it
