My Dodge Dakota Starts then Dies

Asked by bowman95 Apr 10, 2014 at 09:50 AM about the 1999 Dodge Dakota Sport LB RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I go to start my truck and it will start then die. If I start it and push the gas it will run but if
I let off the gas it dies. I ran kept my foot on the gas and put it and drove it for a while
and I shut it off and turned it back on and it was fine. But like three hours later it started
doing the same thing.

If you can take it to autozone or O'Reilly to check the computer for fault codes. I had the same problem and it was the Ignition coil.
