Well guys and gals seems to be an issue with the Dakota 1999 3.9 v6
80256 miles.
This started before it got cold the Truck runs fine after you get it
started.
The issue seems to be starting cold or even when its not cold just sat
for some time 3 or 4hours
but defiantly overnight. Initially it would just take a few more cranks
for the starter to get it going
and that got a little worse over the last couple months. This has been
going on for the last
3 months about 1 1/2 month ago replaced the IAC with no effect.
Now you have to hold your foot into it about 2000rpms for a minute or
two or it will die.
Hooked up the scanner no codes drove around w/ said scanner hooked up
didn't see any thing that
really jumped out but its hard to see and drive.
Any help or input would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.
