I have a 88 Dakota 4X4 3.9 litre.  It is a great little truck but it started acting up


and just stopped.   It stops after idling for long period of time when you put it into


gear and will not restart for a period of time.  There seems to be pressure to the


TBI so pump is running.  Also have spark.  Anybody have any ideas?? Or have


same??

obviously there is either not enough fuel or air getting to the cylinders. a lack of engine vacume (causing the cylinders to not get enough fuel/air mixture)could be one reason, you fuel injectors could be bad, it really could be anything that has to do with either fuel or air getting into the cylinders.

 Check how much fuel pressure it has. As with all fuel injection it must have a minimum constant pressure or it will not start and or stay running. Also replace the fuel filter.

I'd try replacing the fuel filter it's an easy job you can do yourself
and it should be done every once in a while anyway even if it's not
causing your problem
