1988 Dodge Dakota 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

i start the truck, and it runs fine, but as soon as it warms up, it dies, and wont restart. It just turns over. But will always star the next morning when its cold.

When it doesn't start, did you check to see if the engine is getting spark and fuel to the engine?

When has the fuel filter been changed. Had the same thing happen to my wifes ford truck and found that the fuel filter was mostly clogged up. After running a little while the dirt would cause the filter to clog thus stopping the fuel from reaching the engine. Once it sat for some time the dirt wouls settle from the filter and the problem would do it all over again. First check the fuel filter and replace.
