    . Ensure battery is fully charged.

    . Test all under-dash and under-hood fuses with a test light or multimeter. Here's how:

    . Check for codes.

    . Test for spark.

    . Test/replace the Ignition Pickup/Stator and coil. AutoZone can test coils for free. Ensure spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor, and distributor cap are in good shape.

    . Test for fuel. Ensure fuel pump runs and fuel filter has been replaced recently.

    Odds are 90%+ that the problem is electrical-related, not fuel.

I have a dakota 2.5 liter that is running very rough, it sounds like it is misfiring, I replaced the distributor and rotor, it is better but is still popping. Any advice would be very helpful.
