My 95 Dakota Sport with a 3.9 engine, manual trans. is flashing trouble
code 12 which is 'memory standby power lost'. What is this and how can it
be corrected?

Over the course of driving under differing conditions,you need to understand that computer on dak.

memory standby power lost means that the power-supply that maintains all of the LEARNED datapoints was lost.LEARNED datapoints are those which are stored in a "map" which relate the proper settings to external conditions such as throttle-position, ambient-temperature, engine-temparture...etc.

solution for this problem is to DRIVE THE VEHICLE that causes correct datapoints.The errorcode will reset.
