Message: Just wanted to share with any one else who runs 
 into this issue. My 01 dak which i just put a new 
 engine in was throwing the 300 301 303 305 codes 
 for random misfire and for misfire fires on 
 cyclinder 1 3 5, I finally found the issue when i 
 looked under the distrubitor cap. There was rub 
 marks on the under side of the cap and a groove 
 worn into top of the rotor on the back end. The 
 rotor was not sitting right on the shaft causing 
 the back end to rub the cap, angling the spark end 
 of the rotor down and away from the contact on the 
 cap and if the spark couldnt make the jump it 
 misfired. If i touched the rotor rub mark to the 
 rub on the cap, the cyclinders it pointed at were 
 1, 3, 5. I lightly sanded the rust off the shaft, 
 re set the rotor in place and tap it to  make sure 
 it was as far down as possible. put everything 
 back together, warmed the truck up and went for a 
 test drive. No codes and smoother acceleration!!! 
 Dont discount the cap and rotor if you replaced 
 them. Mine were brand new as i did a tune up on 
 the motor before installing it (junk yard engine).

Message: I have a 98 dakota that seems to miss in idle. Then when I hit 
 the gas it wants to stall and sometimes does stop all together. 
 New fuel pump and checked the lines/injectors which are all 
 good. Spark plugs the right gap and sparking. Any ideas as to 
 what it could be?
