12= Standby memory power lost
27= PCM to injector failure
15 = No VSS reference
55 = Completion of fault code display

With the given codes and the way it is running I would say that you are having either a issue with the PCM ground and or the main connector to the PCM. Intermittent failure in the plug would cause these cascade codes with a misfire.

I would inspect the plug and make sure there is a good verifiable ground from the cab to the frame even to the transmission itself. The cabs of these trucks have notoriously bad grounding. Best to establish a new one rather than chase the old one and assume it is ok. Small gauge wire with terminals will suffice.

You may also be noticing that the volt and temp gauges go up and down slightly with the turn signal when it is activated? Radio may also freak out at louder volume settings if the ground in the cab is compromised.

1993 dodge dakota 5.2 v-8, under light throttle it as a surge. Engine rpm's will go up and down a little.

start by cleaning the throttle bore and plate with spray carb cleaner. use a toothbrush and rags to clean it out well. Then clean the IAC valve and its bore. lastly replace the PCV valve. use the rest of the carb cleaner to find any vacuum leaks at hoses and fittings. If problem is still there test or replace TPS.

Check your computer for trouble codes.

Check engine code

I'm new to this website, have a problem with my '93 Dakota, 5.2L but thought I'd post to your question.

The readers would need more information than what you supplied.

On my Dakota, to check the CEL(Check Engine Light), cycle the ignition switch to RUN-OFF-RUN-OFF-RUN, then count the flashes of the CEL. There will be a distinct pause between each set of 2 number flashes, finally ending with a code of 55 signaling the end of the code display.

Some of the codes will keep the CEL lit all the time, while others will store but not light the CEL when running.
If you post the codes you see, and look them up, it might give you (and the reaers here) a better idea of your problem.
