Recently my check engine light, on my 1991 V-8 dakota intermittently comes & goes
as follows: Cold engine OK, then light comes on after 5 minutes and goes back off again
after 15 minutes of driving when restarted and stays off. Voltmeter goes to low end
(12 volts) when light comes on then after 15 minutes voltmeter goes normal and
check engine light will clear. PCM shows code 41 "loss of field". I've replaced the alternator and cleaned the connector to the PCM. Yet problem still exists. Any ideas
out there besides going to the dealer?
