I've got a 1990 Dodge Dakota that won't run like it should. It would start and run fine for about 45 minutes and then just stop so I figured that the fuel pump was bad, so I took the fuel pump off and it was bad. I've replaced it twice. This last time I replaced it, it started up so I let it run for about 30 minutes or so and turned it off, the next day I tried to start it and it wouldn't so I don't know what is wrong with it. I've been told it could be my ASD relay or fuel pump shutdown relay but I cannot find it. If it is not my fuel pump or my relay what could it be?

Excellent picture. First check for spark when it wont start. If the computer does not see rpm from distributor it wont activate fuel pump.
