Suggestion? Great job in the video! Except knowing which is number 1
cylinder or plug wire doesn’t matter as far as changing a cap. You remember
or mark your starting point on distributor and mark wires 1 through 8 ,
Other suggestion is take out the throttle body air cleaner bolt! You could
slip and lose an eye!!!

Awesome man, you just really saved me a huge amount of cursing and
swearing, your details and information is A++ and then some, firing order
and plug to router set up was flawless, i am fixing up my 1991 Dodge Ram
150, with a 318 CI 5.2L, 2WD, fullsize street rod, but she keeps stalling,
but after your tips, / SHE SCREAMS LIKE A BANSHEE!!!!!!!!! Thanks and all
the best, and if any other parts come up, consider me a customer, Shane

My 99 ram 5.2 isn’t firing on 6 and 8 it’s got spark and fuel and the
compression is around 90 so what’s the problem ? Please help
You may want to check the coils to see if they need to be replaced.

Very Impressed by the Video! Nicely done And Helpful! Thanks
Hi I have 98 dodge dakota 5.2 318. I had 3 pods miss firing so I decided to
change all the plugs, wires and the distributor and rotor button. Now my
truck will not run. I have checked and followed the correct wiring and
firing order . I have checked the top dead center with the rotor button and
the timing doesn’t seems to be off. It’s getting spark and fuel. I have no
idea what happened. Any ideas?
If there happens to be a check engine light on you may want to pull the
code to see what the issue might be. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
I ran my old charger last night and it was running like a champ. I washed
and waxed it and when I fired it up, it started backfiring really badly. I
figured moisture got into the ignition but the wires and cap look dry. What
do you think I should check. Cap and rotor are 7 years old but look brand
new Cuz I rarely drive it. wires same. Plugs are new. I appreciate any help
you could give me.
Excelent and i had a problem and doing some research, found that rams are
kind of sensible to water or heavy rain life mine didn’t turn on after
rainy day and used a heater Gun pointing to dist. And cables under wind
shield wipers
@instabad83 It was getting in the way. I just pulled it out to make a
little more room.
And the rubber under hood and engine was off and looks like water went
trough, and no spark to turn on but thanks to internet and people out there
for share bought my heat gun and stared after minutes of drying it!
@LafreniereJ could be that.You may also want to check for a bad plug wire.
Thank you…I appreciate your help. I think I may have some serious
problems though. This morning the oil was cloudy white.
@MrMetalxxx999 Wire 1 is labelled on the distributor so you know where to
put that, the coil wire always goes into the middle. 7 left. He said that 8
goes next to 1. 6 left. Now, a helpful tip: all odd-numbered plugs
(1,3,5,7) face the opposite side then the even-numbered ones (2,4,6,8). It
really is just memory for the other 6, or 4 if its a v6. Just mark the
wires and follow them down. I know its been 4 months, but hey! here ya go!
Would this be the same on my zj limited 1995? also has the 318.
Pretty much every few years. You should inspect them when you change the
spark plugs.
Thank you so much for your video! It was dead on about everything. As a
girl, its awsome to now say that I can change a cap/rotor on a truck
now…. Thanks again. Wonderful video!
My 98 Dakota 3.9L Like’s to start rough. the idle is very low, sounds like
it is struggling to catch. Dis Cap problem maybe?
i followed these instructions, but it has a random misfire now. it idles
smoothly but at cruising speeds, it misfires very little.
@Prank6767 You may want to check the cap, and plug wires to see if one they
are bad. You could start the truck and spray them with water from a spray
bottle to see if anything is arcing out. If that all checks out fine, you
may want to check the plugs.Hope this helps.
can you seal the cap with silacon to get a bit of water proofing/
@dougfoor I replaced the rotor as well.
If the gas has been in it for a long time, you may want to put some fresh
gas in it to see if that helps. 1aauto.com 888-844-3393
Hey, thanks for watching. Hope it helped you out.
@Dodge2500Ram It may. You may want to have the dealer run your vin number
to see if they were the same between vehicles.
@1aauto thats the thing,i changed plugs, wires, cap, rotor.
Nice job, thanks Mike!
@crumbuntas No, you should be able to just place the cap back on right over
the rotor.Check to make sure that the rotor is seated correctly.
A1: The 1999 Dakota 5.2 I have is my first Dodge so I was a little
apprehensive about tackling the distributor cap/rotor replacement. Your
video made it easy as 1 2 3 for me, Took me about 30 minutes from start to
finish…. thanks!
Normally you will want to label them as well as the old housing if you do
not have a repair manual available.
