Message:
My 1993 Dodge Dakota starts fine but after I take off it will die out within 30 seconds to a minute after I start driving(it idles fine its after I shift into gear.) Any ideas? Does this fall into the faulty ASD Relay I have heard about?

It would be a total guess without some diagnosis time

does the engine light come on? try checking the codes in the computer and see if it's saying anything. sounds like a sensor is going bad somewhere.

clean the IAC on the back of the throttle body or replace it, This happened to me on my 93, cleaning it helped for a couple weeks but replacing it cured it.

I took it over to Pep Boys this morning we will see what happens. Thanks for the info on the IAC. How much was it? Was it a dealer part? What does IAC stand for? Thanks.

IAC= Idle air control solenoid/valve
cost about $50-$60. No, not a dealer part, you can buy it at any auto parts store.

If it ain't broke, fix it til it is.

Ok Pep Boys replaced the crank sensor and electronic pick up sensor. I wanted them to fix the exhaust leak but they found that one of the exhaust bolts was broken off in the head. They said I would have difficulty having it removed while the head was in the truck. I havent checked out the bolt yet. Total cost 431.75 which sucks. It sucks paying that much and not having a new dual exhaust on it.
