SOURCE: 95 dakota dies when warmed up

yes it can but you may have a coolant temp sensor acting up which causes the computer to open the injectors to much which can also cause this 02 sensor code. when it stalls do u have spark and fuel pressure.

SOURCE: 88 dodge dakota has rough idle and stalls at slow down.

Change/thoroughly clean the idle control solenoid. It may be sticking and causing rough idling.
Cleaning it is unlikely to be more than a short-term solution.

SOURCE: 96 Dodge Intrepid ES, engine stalls

Find your firewall electrical junction block (where all the wires enter the cabin on the passenger side) and with a zip tie pull up the wire bundle so it does not ride on the upper tie rods and, fasten the zip tie to anything that is solid in the engine compartment and, let me know what happens

1997 dodge Dakota pickup truck. it stalls sometimes at idle, and running down the road 70 mph it just cuts out, and dies.

Start with the most basic item: check your compression. Low compression gets lower when an engine gets warm.

Replace timing belts crank sensor runs rough at idle an exaust gets cherry red

This could be several things. One is obstructed CAT. The most common cause though is the engine is running so rich it is dumping unburned fuel into the exhaust. This could be a bad injector sticking exhaust valve, constant misfire etc. Don't run it like this or you will end up with a pile of charcoal and steel where your car is supposed to be.

Vs stateman v8 oilpressure light comes on wen it warns up motor seems to be getting hot an it runs rough an stalls if I leave it running

Engine heat may be thinning oil enough to drop pressure. Fix overheating first. Thermostat, bad cat converter or muffler, bad water pump, etc.

My Liana got a problem of Back fire I changed ignition coil first then i Change their complete head but problem remain same?

Back fire back to where, the intake or exhaust.
intake backfire is a pop sound, not too loud, and is bad timing.
exh backfire means, fuel plus air is in the exh.
and explodes with a loud report , we call it muffler explosing to help
with clear meaning.... in this latter example
you have a bad running motor (rich as pig) a dead CAT and exhuast air leak
all at the same time.

Failed smog, running very rich. changed plugs, cap rotor, wires, tps sensor, map sensor, egr valve cleaned, Has problem keeping stable ide. all over the place. Any ideas

I've seen two cases recently where it was bad distributors causing rough idle. An honorable muffler shop (not a big chain) will test your catalytic converter for free. Is a '91 throttle body? Do Fords have cold start valve or injector? This can cause rich reading if malfunctioning. Anything controlling fuel delivery into engine can malfunction sending extra fuel. When you find problem; do you know clean oil will help pass smog test?

1990 Buick Century 3.3L Check Engine Light comes on, stalls.

Need to check for fault codes. Possibly a faulty sensor causing the fuel system to run rich or lean.

Car stalling out

Look to the CAT convertor. This is the important one. It is probably plugged and the car is not safe to drive with the plugged CAT. The CAT convertor looks like a muffler under the car.
