97 3.9l backfire?
i recently purchased a 97 dakota 2wd v6 auto. i replaced the injectors with bosch injectors and just did the intake gasket and new timing chain. it also has new cap, rotor, plugs, wires and new throttle position sensor. i cant seem to figure out why it back fires through the intake and hesitates when i am trying to take off in drive. if you rev it in neautral it doesn't seem to do it as bad but you still notice the hesitation when you give it throttle. any ideas on what it could be? thanks

yes marks lined up on sprockets it was doing it before just had alot of timing chain rattle it was so bad it was slapping the inside of the timing cover. i thought timing was off to but it adjust itself correct?
was it backfiring at all before you put the new timing chain on? bc if it was, and the old one was a loose as you say it was then its possible that it skipped some teeth and got out of time before you changed it.
