<!-- from fixya rte -->What makes the engine skip? - 1993 Dodge Dynasty

If the timing chain was skipping, your engine would NOT be running!

By skip I guess you mean engine develops a miss? Could be many things. Dirty fuel filter, bad plug wires, plugs, clogged catalytic converter, bad muffler, bad fuel pressure regulator, bad fuel pump, etc

If the check engine light is on, you may want to check for a engine misfire code which cause the engine to "skip".

hi the engine is not skipping the problem is the engine is miss firing
that is caused by a bad .spark plug or -wires-or coil pack - when was the last time the
car had a tune up . check spark plug connections

make sure you have the correct plug wires going to the correct cylinders. sounds simple enough but my friend made the same mistake on his 98 tahoe and he's been a professional mechanic for 15 yrs

Does it idle fine? Sounds like a vacuum leak.

Make sure that all of the sensors are connected.  Is the Check Engine light on?  Make sure that all of the spark plug wires are still secure.
What do you mean skipping?  Is there an ignition miss (e.g. cylinder not firing) or is the ignition cutting out periodically?

When you press the clutch the engine control computer senses the clutch is in and adjusts the idle speed, maybe the idle speed control motor is dirty and sticks, this will almost feel like a skip or miss, do you have any trouble codes?

check the catalytic converter first...it will make it sputter
