Anyone know of a source for information of the internal working of powertrain control modules that does not require a electrical engineering degree to understand. My 93 Dakota is being a pain in the butt. Have been losing the ignition circuit with engine compartment hot. So far will restart after cooling down. I have the engine harness and powertrain control module wiring diagrams and carry an electrical multi tester. Hope to start illuminating power circuits and find the problem before it strands us. All that my Snap-on diagnostic will tell me is it is ready to drive and shows no error codes. All that I know at this time is there is no current to the coil (term #19) or check engine light when this occurs and will not restart till the check engine light comes on. There is current at Terminals #7,9 & 20 and voltage levels test ok.
