1998 DODGE DAKOTA 3.9L V6 WILL TURN OVER BUT WILL NOT START

MY 98 DODGE DAKOTA 3.9L V6 WILL TURN OVER BUT DOES NOT FIRE. IT WILL START IF I HOLD DOWN THE GAS PEDEL, BUT AS SO AS I LET OFF IT DIES. I CAN DRIVE IT BUT HAVE TO DRIVE WITH BOTH FEET. ONE TO OPERATE BRAKES AND THE OTHER TO PUMP GAS PEDAL. I HAVE TO POP IT IN NEUTRAL AT STOPS SO I CAN KEEP PUMPING GAS PEDAL

Im getting fire from the coil to the cap but

Check the wire itself by placing it in a different position in the cap. If it's OK, check the inside of the cap for any carbon tracking especially near the #1 wire tower. You have spark from all other wires? It sounds like you have a bad cap. but check both.
