The truck is a 1995 Dodge Dakota and it has the 2.5-liter engine; he drove it about 6 miles after doing the jump. It died he started it up and it died he let it set and it would start up again but only run for about 10 minutes. Let it set for a few hours and it will start up and run again for any where from 10-30 minutes then shut down and will not start back up. When it shuts down it looks like it is blowing fuel out of the throttle body. When it shuts down i have checked and have spark, the fuel pump seems to be putting out pressure. I think it is being flooded out but don't really know. Have you got any ideas to check on this?
Thank You,
Roy

Hi there, I was wondering if you could tell me a few things. I had too get my intake manifold gasket replaced for the sec time in 23 months last week. I wondered if the most up to date gasket set was available at the time of the first repair and whether or not the shop tried to cut corners. Also the shop that did the work put reg green coolant in instead of dex cool, is that okay ? I talked to a dealership and they told me that the chemical known to cause damage had been removed from it, so there was nothing wrong when using it now. Well I would appreciate your input on this matter and any advice in handling the shop as it is not a dealership but just a local shop. The shop told me that they had put in the gasket set that just came out with the bolts and everything included that was not available at the time of the first repair . So anyhow any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
