Do you have a way to see if it has any codes stored? You KNOW you have fuel
going to the engine and spark occurring when you turn over the engine? Did
this happen suddenly one day..meaning it just would not start one day after
having run the day before or something like that?

Subject: DML: RE: Need Help 1993 Dakota

Hello, I need some help with my 1993 Dodge Dakota V8 5.2 truck.  My main
problem is the truck won’t start.  My second problem is I do not have a
“Check Engine Light” when the truck is in the on position.  I have checked
the vehicle for fuel and spark, both were good.  The battery is showing
12V.  I have double checked all of the fuses.  I tried pulling the codes and
that’s when I noticed the check engine light was not working.  I checked the
bulb and it was fine.  I ordered a new ECU from NAPA ($170) thinking that
had to be the problem, but after I installed the ECU I was still in the same
spot.  The truck will crank over but never starts.  Another note, my
interior light has not worked for a few years, that bulb is fine also.  I
would appreciate any suggestions or help I can get.  Thanks, Dave.
