Is Your 2013 Dodge Dart Running Rough?
If you’re experiencing frustrating issues like a persistent check engine light, poor fuel economy, stalling, or a complete no-start condition, the problem may lie with a faulty Engine Control Module (ECM). The ECM is the central computer of your vehicle, responsible for managing everything from fuel injection and ignition timing to emissions controls. When it fails, it can cause a wide range of confusing and intermittent problems that can be difficult to diagnose. Don’t let a bad computer keep your Dart off the road. This is your direct, reliable solution.
We had a 2013 Dart come in that was a real head-scratcher. The owner had replaced the spark plugs, ignition coils, and even the fuel pump, but the car still had a random misfire and would occasionally refuse to start. The check engine light codes were all over the place, pointing to multiple unrelated sensors. After hours of chasing electrical gremlins, we finally hooked up a scope to the ECM outputs. We discovered the injector driver for cylinder 3 was failing intermittently, but only when the module got warm. A replacement, programmed 2013 Dart Engine Computer solved all the issues instantly. It’s a classic example of how a single failing module can mimic a dozen other problems.
