Engine Performance problem
1999 Dodge Ram V8 Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I replaced the crank shaft and crank sensor, timing chain and timing gear, cam shaft and cam shaft sensor, spark plugs. The truck is running like if is missing on injector #4. Everything is set according to specs but I was wondering if the timing chain could be off 1 link to cause the engine to miss.

Hi:
Is it a constant miss? If the timing chain is off, the engine will run very poorly (if at all), but I doubt it would only be one cylender causing the problem. Why do you think it's #4?
