I need an engine diagram for my 1998 dodge dakota sport 2.5 liter 4 cyl. PLEASE.

The fuel pump should be in the gas tank.

Bent push-rods or loose rocker arms

I was surprised to find Dodge still using a distributor on this engine.
The firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 and the cylinders on the driver side are 1-3-5-7.

distributor could be bad
