'90 Dodge Ram 50 2.4L.

The problem seems to be between "engine misses throughout driving range" and " "hesitation or stumble during acceleration."

This is the best way I can describe it. It feels like it's running on 3-and-a-half plugs, then four for a bit, then 3-and-a-half plugs, then four for a bit. Especially going up the ~1% grade we have here in town.

Took the plugs out; they seem fine (and I re-gapped them). Got new plug wires. Got new fuel filter.

Anyone have a guess what this most-likely sounds like? [ and there there are virtually NO diagnostic tools in this town ]

Almost forgot to ask (and I asked in the "2nd Generation" forum, too: does this have points - like a normal car does, or that thing called MSD?

?????

Thanks, people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
