Check for faulty cat converter. They crack and block up the exhaust pipe. Test by hitting the unit and listen for rattles. Check for crank position sensor failure . Check for fault codes

It is possible and the check is to get a test light and check for power at the coils and fuel pump. Have the ignition on and in the engine run position for this test. Remember the fault could be in either a fusible link or in a crank position sensor .

If it is not cranking,then you have to work on the starting system firstCranking is the motor turning overWhat about fuel pressure with & without the regulatorhose connected?How about a worn out ignition switch ?

a the heater core is just a small radiator; if it's the right size for the heater box just run a heater hose into the top and another out the bottom securing them with hose clamps you may need to mount the core with zip ties if the screw mountig holes do not match

ABOVE "Answers??" are only 1/2 correct ! Reason is:#1 doesn't help if you have 89-93 Dakota with ABS on REAR 2 wheels only. #2 is wrong BECAUSE ANY loss of brake fluid to rear leveling block sensor(located within frame above rear axle) will trigger cpu to keep abs light on=NOT electrical.#3 is worthless because it does not address brake fluid problem/air in system only(probably how to clear/read code by turning ignition switch). Answer=:Turn ignition key to just before start 3 times and wait a couple of sec for abs light to blink. Count # of blinks between pause and write down CODE ie 4 blinks=#4 pause 7 blinks=#7 the example code= 47. Look up code and read problem;CLEAR code by disconnect battery for 5 min to let cpu erase code. If spongy pedal or need fluid; bleed at all wheels PLUS at rear leveling block contained in frame(it has a small bleeder valve too and hard to get to!). If you have later models from 1995? with new system III you will need code reader/tester. P.S. If you have a parasitic electrical leak(battery goes down over 1-3 days) check fillament(sic) on rear bulbs. One could be broken and lay against other. Bulb will work most of time BUT WILL BE PARTIAL SHORT-therefore draining battery! Good luck-Rick
