First thing I would do is pull a spark plug and have some turn it over to see if there’s spark. And then I’d make sure that fuel is making it up to the engine. Then you can start eliminating stuff. They need three things to run. Fuel spark and air.

Check distributor. Remove cap and examine components. There should be a rotor and a triggering device on the shaft which tells the computer when to fire. Make sure the shaft turns by having someone to crank it while you watch. If it doesn't turn your timing chain or belt is broken

SOURCE: miss fire at cylinder 6 on my 2004 grand am 3.4 i have replaced new plug new coil and wire whats next still miss fires

With the engine running and the cylinder misfiring tap (key word is tap) the injector with a screwdriver a couple of times. If the misfire goes away replace the injector.

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.

No fire to my plugs

It all sounds like you have a bad computor. If you are not getting fire from the coil. The source will lead you back to the brain source, (The Computor). Go to the local junk yard to get another one at half price.

'96 Dodge Dakota will crank, but won't run.

a bad crank sensor or dist pickup plate can cause this.... check the fuses in the fuse block under the hood for any blown ..... a bad auto shut down relay may cause it .....try putting a test light on the green and orange wire and see if it lights up when you try to crank it
