    Now i have a code error of 24 and that is camshaft position sensor which i just put a new one on. It cranks and barely starts if i hold my foot on gas pedal. No I dont have a pressure gauge for fuel check.

    You may need to involve a repair shop. You need to know if the computer is getting a signal from the sensors, and what the base fuel pressure is. So you need a scanner and a fuel pressure gauge.

Have you checked base fuel pressure with a gauge ?
Code 42 is a problem with the fuel pump relay or ASD relay circuit.

I have a 1992 dodge dakota replaced the transmission now it wont start like it has no fire

Best possibility is that you failed to replace or reconnect the crankshaft position sensor after changing the transmission. It is positioned at the rear of the engine at
the top of the transmission bell housing assembly. If this is missing, disconnected, or damaged, the vehicle will crank but never start.

MY truck is fuel injected what would make it so i have to hold down gas pedal to finally get it to start then die

Sounds like you have some injector problems or the fuel pressure regulator. If the check engine light is not on, I would look for something allowing extra fuel into the engine.

92 dodge dakota 5.2 4x4 won't stay running, hard

What fault codes do you have? to check for fault codes using the check engine light blink method do the following, turn the key to run and then off, then to run and then off, then to run and watch the check engine light, count the blinks, there will be a pause and then more blinks, that is the code(s) So lets say it blinks 2 times and then 5 times, that is code 25. Google the code or codes under the heading: "Dodge OBD1 fault codes"

1992 Dodge Dakota won't start when Hot

it sounds like it might be a crankshaft position sensor (CKP). when it doesnt start try dumping some cold water on the sensor and see if it starts. I had the same problem with my 94 intrepid. Of course there are other things that might cause this problem but it is something to start with.
