First question - aren't the new Dakota's distributorless? I could swear
I saw a plug coil under the hood. Forgive me if I'm not sure, as I've
only owned the vehicle since Friday :-)
Second, my truck also has a slight "shake" at idle, but it's been
my experience that most modern fuel injected cars have a little
shake and "miss" at idle. You never know, though. Maybe it is
something that needs attention......
