It would just every once in a while at randon tims just skip like a plug miss firing. I thought possibly a fuel injectioner acting up and I run two mottles of injector cleaner thru it, Seemed to clear up a bit after first bottle butdid not last so second bottle. I don't even know what injector looks like. No codes showing up with engine check light. No lights on. Went to O Rileys. There instrument only said PCM problems, nothing else. Is there different quality readers? I just thought all would read the same. I just asked at garage I always use what he knew about a PCM. (I did not even know what a PCM is) He just said he cannot work on then, dealer has to do it because of something about setting to exact vehical. Said might go out like a light bulb or slowly quit working like a slow leak in a tire. One person on here said they never go bad, others saidcommon to go bad. Some as I was trying to under stand them was like that tire with a slow leak and others like that light bulb. I assume it is under the hood someplace, correct? Talking aboyt plugin in , does it have wire connect to it or a built in plug? Size of a wannut or a grapefruit? The information given to me actually if I was a mechanic that I am not could be good but to me what was being said might as well have been in Grek. I did not know there were different quality readers, thought all were the same. So readerr just said PCM Problems so I just asked the garage that I trust what he knew about PCM and that is all he could tell me is that his garage could not do anything and have to go to dealer. Could not tell me if it would be like the truck would just stop like that light bulb going out or ifafter coolingdown it would start working again of if dead in water. That dealer that did problems that was 30 years ago and probly put a person that should not have been working on cars on it. If he has had that kind of problems since he would not have grown to be one of the bigger dealers in area. I just did not want to go in to get a reading and comme out holding a bill for $500 that I don't have Just to tell me if it wassafe to drive or needed to park it and only use my totally rusted truck to get around. So what would be the chance of ot stoping completely on road like that light bulb going out Or would it be more like that tire with a slow leak that could be pumped up agan ang go for a while before it needed pumped up again. I could be looking at it under the hood and not know what I am looking at. Now do repair shops normally have a better quality reader that the pars stores? Truck is 2001 Dakota 3.9 6 cylinder. Auto 2 wheel drive if that makes any difference.

Today's Featured Article - A Farmall Story - by Ed Meadors. The year was 1978. Our young family had recently moved to rural Chesapeake, Virginia to a plot of land which would finally allow us to realize our dreams of a huge garden, critters and more lawn and pasture than we would ever use! We needed a TRACTOR; not a riding mower or tractor wannabe, but a real TRACTOR. The answer to our needs materialized in the form of a '44 Farmall A, complete with cultivators, discs, single plow, a 5ft.Woods belly mower and one, mounted spare 9.00x24 rear wheel.
