Incorrectly seated plugs
My cousin has been helping me work one my 94 Dakota 411 cylinder. He's not familiar with Dodges and did not get the wires seated correctly. After drving awhile its suddenly started knocking. First two wires in bad shape. Still runs barely but under load knocks terribly at first two. What's the most likely problem?

The wires were not pulled all the way through the distributor cap. None of them. So when I checked them the first two were burnt and a loud knocking noise is happening. I'm a women with just a little knowledge of mechanics but since purchasing this Dodge I have learned all about Dodge heating systems and my truck was finally running good except my temp gauge is not working at all. My cousin is a man who pretty much told me my "book learning" is silly. Right before he totally screwed it up.

your temp gauge is a 1wire sending unit right next to the thermostat behind the alternator, least thats where it is on the magnums not sure about the 4 cyl though. If its there could just be unplugged, if not go out and get the sending unit from an 89 dakota and snip the plug off and put on an eyelit instead to go over the older style plug. thats how i fixed mine. little more reliable than that wierd plug it comes with.

If the engine didn't knock until after the tune up the I would double check to make sure it has the correct plugs in it. It's possible to get a plug that has the proper threads but is too long and could be hitting the piston. But if this was the problem the it would have started as soon as you started the engine after the tune up and not after driving awhile. I can't think of anything dealing with a tune up that could cause a knock in the engine other than to long of a spark plug.

aside from that screwing sparkplugs into a Dodge is no different from screwing sparkplugs into a Chevy or Ford or even a Hon-duh.
