You can get a belt diagram for your 1991 Dodge Dakota 3.9 liter engine, at most Dodge dealerships. Most auto-parts stores will give you a belt diagram when you purchase a new belt.
A 1998 Dakota does not have a ballast resistor.
If you have a "check engine" light illuminated, have the codes read. The codes will help determine the problem. Your local auto parts store will help you read the codes at no cost.
If the check engine light is or has illuminated, have it scanned for codes. They may help find the cause.
I assume you are referring to the Engine Controller,if so you will need a scanner to reset the "codes"...disconnecting the battery will not help, but only reset the short term memory..in that case restarting the engine resets short-term memory..is it codes or no-start condition?
Go to Auto Zone or almost any other auto parts store they will reset it for free :)
The engine has problems; when the engine is put into gear it becomes loaded but does not have the power to support the load at idle. Have it scanned for possible faults/codes, run diagnostic on the engine, and/or tuning it up may help.
go to auto zone to get your check engine light codes read. When it blinks that means there is more than one problem. Those codes will most likely help you figure out why your car is trying to die. I have a '98 Intrepid as well and the array of problems it has is amazing. Good luck...
When fixing or changing a radio in a car, a wiring diagram will help make sure things are connected correctly. A wiring diagram for the radio of a 1990 Dodge Dakota can be found in its maintenance manual.
A flashing check engine light indicates a engine condition that could be causing severe catalytic converter damage. The usual cause is a harsh misfire. The engine computer will have set a code, or codes that will help in diagnosis.
The engine computer uses it to measure the temperature of the air coming into the intake manifold. It then uses that to help calculate fuel and ignition timing.
You may think there is nothing wrong but there is. If the check engine light is on there will be codes stored in the ECM. Have the codes read. The codes will help you determine what the cause is.
