Exclamation Re: no bus and breaking down in '99 Durango

Hello all, after playing with this no bus BS and looking at this site mostly, I decided to join!
so hello!

I replaced the PCM first over a year ago. Ran great for two weeks, same thing.
replaced crank sens same
winter came RAN AWESOME... until spring
The air was nice, the birds were chirpin, as I was stuck waiting for NO BUS to go away.
tore out the heat shield/noise dampener blanket. sometimes moving the connectors on the pcm will make the fuel pump engange, some times that works... still totally random and the fix is as easy as that, or waiting up to half an hour for it to stop saying NO BUS .
made openings above the air intake and cut up trapper keeper plastic to make an "air dam" on the PCM.
I moved the pcm around to get away from heat, tried to cover it in an old plastic tackle box cover with a 3 inch air intake to it...seemed to work.... NOPE. None of it works.
Thank the gods I am used to it, having no power brakes and steering ... yikes.
SO
on a site I found a dude who loves this issue. He claims he flips em. Ignition coil gets hot and weak. I just ordered one, I am hoping for the best.
Ill update you all.
Dodge should have recalled.... I already talked with them. Useless. They pretend they never heard of it.
My cuz is a bigwig at Dodge and he said " I KNOW NUSHING! I WAS NEVER HERE! I DIDNT EVEN GET UP THIS MORNING ! ha ha
Thanks to all who posted. I tried all ideas and am trying another. Hey at $$$ in parts, whats another 30 bucks , right?
its gotta be a heat issue.... so more parts thrown
If you want a list of all the fixes I have tried in 2 years, plz contact me ......here... I would give an email address but Im not trying to upset the admins, not sure of the posting rules, so better safe than locked out of an awesome forum. I will post my whole list after I install the ig coil. Thanks !

p.s. I have a cuz who is a master mopar tech, and 4 bad ass mech friends. I build and maintain computers. I assure that all wires were tested, the no bus inst a short or a sensor.
Really hoping its the ig coil bc if 4 bad ass mechs ,a mopar tech, and a computer tech cant find the issue..... then its something SO STUPID that no one will find it. BOO to Dodge for making such an awesome suv and giving NO support .
