the other may be part of cruse control

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

Okay, I'm guessing you have a 4-clyinder Dakota has throttle body fuel injection. I have seen this kind of problem before, but I could be way off base. Are you getting really lousy gas mileage as well? If the coolant sensor fails to the ECM, the ECM will think that the coolant temperature is very low and cause a massive amount of fuek to be injected into the intake (think of the old-style choke with fast idle). This causes the engine to flood and die. Restarting requires the gas pedal to be on the floor (clear flood) mode. Driving at speed may not be noticeable, but there may be some lack of power as the engine is still getting way too much fuel. TGo test this, do the following. When the engine is acting up and is warm, gain access to the throttle body by removing the air box over it. Have someone crank the engine while observing the throttle body injector. A normal, warm engine will spray a fine mist on the walls of the throttle body and will hum slightly. If there is a torrent of fuel being sprayed into the engine, then check your coolant sensor circuit for the ECM.

may not be a fuel issue. maybe senor problem. first check the map sensor and make sure you have good engine vacuum going to the map sensor.if the map test good , check the tps voltage.

when you say it has gas are you sure fuel is being injected by the injectors?
if not sure get whats called a noid light, sold at all large auto parts chain stores.they are inexspensive.plug it in to an injector connector and have someone crank engine if it blinks then injector signal ok. the light will give a dim blink which is ok.
no blink check for a blown fuse/loose connector/short to ground from engine to computer.
other causes of no start would be;
timing chain slipped
plugged exaust [melted down cat converter]
low fuel pressure
a major sensor failure,map sensor/throttle position sensor/crank,cam sensor
pcm [computer] failure or wireing to it
ignition switch
low compression

you must check the fuel pump it removes lines of entrance and exit of gasoline and gives march if gasoline throws if it work if you do not have to change the fuel pump is inside of the tank

check fuel filter

if battery is weak the idle air control solenoid will search for the right position and stall have battery load tested if good put in a idle air control solenoid..
