Where is the number 1 cylinder on a 2001 dodge Dakota and also where does it go to cap?

On a 2001 Dodge Dakota, the number 1 cylinder is located at the front of the engine, on the passenger side.

To determine where the number 1 cylinder's spark plug wire goes to the cap (distributor cap if it has one, or coil pack if it has coil-on-plug), you'll need to either:

* Consult your owner's manual: This will have a diagram showing the firing order and the corresponding cylinder location on the distributor cap or coil pack.

* Look at the distributor cap (if equipped): The cap itself will usually have markings indicating which terminal corresponds to which cylinder. The number 1 terminal is usually clearly marked.

* Look at the coil pack (if equipped): With coil-on-plug ignition systems, the coil packs are typically located directly over the spark plugs. Each coil pack is associated with a specific cylinder. Again, you would need a diagram or the markings on the coil pack itself to confirm the cylinder number 1.

Without a visual inspection or the owner's manual, it's impossible to give a precise location for the number 1 spark plug wire connection. The firing order (the sequence in which the cylinders fire) is crucial for proper engine operation, so relying on an approximate answer is dangerous.
