Hey Scotty, I got a 94 Dodge Dakota with the 5.2 liter v8 with 280,000 miles. Still runs strong and no major problems except sometimes while driving the engine light will come on and it will start misfiring. I got it scanned with an obd1 scanner and it said cylinder 6 fuel injection circuit misfire, so I replaced the fuel injector and it didn't fix it. Any ideas on what I should check next? I love this truck and want to keep driving it until it blows up.
Well if an injector is bad either the injector has gone bad the wiring going to it or knowing Dodges the computer circuit that drives it could be bad off and it's a worn out computer
Hey I got one that does exactly the same thing. I mean exactly the same. It did it for a couple years, every mechanic in the area has scanned it and replaced stuff. It finally died the other day and has not started since. Nothing ever showed up on the scans. Is it possible choke is malfunctioning? I almost sounds like the backfire is coming out in the air box. But this old truck I'm sure has stopped up cats so that might explain the muffled backfire. The only other uneducated observation I might add is it feels like the torque converter is not unlocking as it should. It's my dad's truck and I would love to fix it.

Please post your own new question. Don't hijack others. Make sure you follow the instructions to the word and include all the info. Thanks.
Could be a problem in the fuel injector driver circuit (wiring or PCM). It's also a possibility that you could've gotten a faulty fuel injector. Also try scanning it while it's running if you haven't yet.
