    I had a '94 Dodge Dakota, a great little truck. It would run for a while, until it was warmed up and some additional time after that. Then all of a sudden it would just die. Normally, if I waited for a while and allowed it to cool down, it would start right back up, then die again once warmed up.

    The problem ended up being that the cpu wiring harness had a break in it, and I can only guess that once the engine compartment warmed up to some appropriate temp, the wire would just disconnect.

    There is no easy way to diagnose this. It took a lot of hunting, pecking and tracing wires. I even took it to dealer and they just kept telling me that there was no problem with the truck.

    This all started after doing a tune up on the truck. I can only guess that the wiring on the truck became brittle because of heat cycling and age. So leaning on it may have fractured the wire.
