Default 98 dak problem please help

Hey everybody. So here's my problem. When i go to start my 98 dakota it sometimes takes 5 or 6 trys before it starts, but it is getting worse. It is turning over so i know the battery isnt dead. Once it finally starts it runs perfect. I was thinking maybe dirty fuel infectors or fuel filter. Any ideas.
Thanks

start with a tune up, your truck definately needs it if you havent done one. i find that the cap and rotor start getting sketchy at about 50k miles on the 5.2l. start with the basics..

I would go with the full tune up and replace the fuel filter. I use lucas in the gas tank and it works well.
