Computer problem
1997 Dodge Dakota 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 135 km miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday the vehicle worked fine, this morning it would not start. I can crank on it all day (or until the battery or starter give out), so lots of power. Seems initially to be a fuel related problem. I believe I can hear the fuel pump and relay come on, when putting key initially on.
I then decided to check the obd II codes. I cannot get it to "talk" to the engine computer - i get a link error each time i try to run the scan test. (btw, i did use it lately on the dakota and it scanned fine and i also checked the scanner on another vehicle to verify it's operation and it works fine). Rule out a problem diagnostic tool.
If anyone can point me in a direction to check out this problem, I'd very much appreciate that. I have lots of "juice", i potentially seem to have a communication related problem with the onboard computer and who knows what else.
help,
