Got myself a new dodge (well new to me)

Postby Maxxheadroom » Mon Jun 22, 2009 11:40 am

Well I got rid of my old Ford and picked up a slightly younger Dodge, it's a 93 Dakota LE Extended cab with the 5.2 Magnum. The truck is really clean inside and out even has the stock tape deck. The truck belonged to an old man, it quit running about a year ago so he parked it in his garage. I suspect the ECM is shot I will be doing some tests later today to confirm that, I have to drive 20 damn miles to pick up a .33 MF capacitor to do the testing. Anyway here are some pics...

Check the pickup in the dist, they go bad and you lose spark. also check the gear on the dist shaft, they mushroom and fall off. My 91 Dakota with a 5.2 non-magnum did both. PM me if you need parts for this and I'll see if I have what you need.

According to the troubleshooting I did the ECM is shot, the pickup in the dist is new (previous owner) so is the cranks position sensor.
