Will, my best friend Al has a '96 318 dak, he put that Jet chip on there and
it did the same thing, his truck was still under warranty and the dealer
replaced the PCM. He had the very same symptoms you are speaking of, cutting
off alot, running rough, and then finally would not start, he got another Jet
chip and it did the same thing, all along it had a check engine code for an
O2 sensor, the dealer replaced all O2's and the check engine would not go
away, the dealer finally replaced the PCM, and he junked the Jet chip. No
problems since then. My guess is, your friend needs a PCM !

<< Ok, my friends 97 Dakota is still acting up. Here is the situation; crank
it
up and it revs to about 1k and then falls on it face dead. This happens
within 3 seconds of cranking the motor. This can be repeated over and over.
Un hook the computer and reset it. Does fine for about 3 days and then
starts this all over. Took it to the dealership and the thing was spitting
out codes that are related to the V-10 (talking about the no 9 injector
wasn't working, the second coil pack was dead, etc...) We are going to
replace the computer today, and he has a JET Performance chip. His Dad and
mine are arguing with us saying that the performance chip is what burned up
the computer. We are sticking with the idea that the chip had nothing to do
with the computer doing this. What are the opinions here? TIA
