Ok so a freind of mine has a 82 D50 2wd with a 2.4 out a newer truck. Its fuel injected. It runs like it is skipping but we have replaced the injectors, plugs, wires, and distributor. Any suggestions?

any help guys?
is it carbed or FI?
i told you, its FI, its 2.4 swapped 1982
I can only suggest testing each injector socket for pulse and look for anything that might indicate either intermittent injector or spark failure. If you have a broken wire somewhere in the injector loom, the constant vibration will cause it to break circuit. The DSM guys always struggle with fragile harnesses.
ok i will tell him, thanks! :D
Other thing to add - always try to get engine error codes from the ECU. It will more often than not identify a fault or at least give you a hint at what is going down.
will do
also check the ecm for bad caps - they fail and cause all kinds of poor running issues.
It was actually a bad ecm cap, good call pennyman!
Humble apologies salteen,
Could I impose on you for pictures (posted here) of the of the build ??
