Hey guys so I have a 94 dakota, the 5.2 318 4x4 decent shape, but it has a weird tendency to stall on me, I'll let it idle in park it will run for hours(ran it for an hour straight just to see) but it seems every now and again it will stall when I shift it into gear(drive or reverse), weird thing about the stalling is ... after it stalls I CANNOT start the truck until after the immobilizer(possibly the ecm/electrical system resets) resets and the led starts to blink again, after that happens she starts up no issue.

At times she also seems to just want to crank and not start... but seems to(only tested this once) start fine with the stalling issue after the negative to the battery is disconnected.
cam shafts sensor has been changed egr has been changed.

Any help is greatly appreciated... this is my hunting/work truck so I need her back up asap.

Sounds like a security problem ?? Any aftermarket alarms ??

Sounds like the Ignition switch proximity ring is having an issue. Just my 2 cents. Also, make sure you dont have too much stuff hanging from the key ring. That will make the switch mad also and cause issues.

Just my 2 cents... Keep us posted...

Only security system is the I mobilize but according to mechanics I have talked to it wouldn't even turn over if that was the issue, it has at times turned over until the battery dies and won't even think about starting, why I think it's the crank shafts sensor, and if it's the ignition switch do I change it? I do have a parts truck
