Yeah, I bared all the wires going into the power distribution box and into the ECM.
found no breaks, but did find a “funky” looking fusable link so replaced it. No help. The power wire that goes into the ECM is red with a white stripe. But the wire out of the Power distribution box that is red with white stripe is hot all the time. That is where I made the splice and ran a wire over to the dead wire at the ECM. The truck runs like a champ.
Still don’t know what went wrong.

Had the same problem with my 1994 Dakota 3.9. Replaced everything, including the ECM! No help. My truck did the same as yours until it just wouldn’t start anymore.
Finally checked the power wire to the ECM and it was dead.
Still don’t know why it was dead, haven’t found a break or short anywhere.
But ran a wire from a hot wire in the control box to the ECM and it runs without a problem.
But still don’t know what the problem is. LOL
