IP: Logged

Message:
I have a 93 Dakota. It only starts when it wants. I first gave it a shot of ether (cold day)and nothing, so i figured no spark, it was a bit weak, so I have replaced the plugs, wires, cap, rotor, coil, and battery. It started fine for a week and then it wouldnt again. I got it going the other day and let it idle for an hour and shut it off for a half hour, I tried to start it again and it wouldnt start, the next morning(10 degrees out) it started right up. Next day, the same thing. A friend with a code scanner came up with EGR solenoid circuit, throttle body temperature sensor circuit, and MAP sensor electrical circuit. I dont want to just start replacing sensors either. I think i can hear the fuel pump coming on. Has anyone heard of these symptoms before? I appreciate any suggestions.

I just went through this with my '93 dakota. It turned out to be the distributer. Cost me approx. $450 for the job. Just having low oil pressure issues right now.
