I Noticed The Fuel Filter Has A Ridge Inside One End Of Fuel Filter. Does The Ridged End Turn Toward Fuel Pump Are Gas Tank, On This 1987 Dodge Dakota 6 Cyl 3.9 With Manuel Fuel Pump ?
The filter should have three hoses. There should be an arrow painted on the filter showing the direction of fuel flow.
And you should be able to blow in one end and the air come out the other if direction is correct.
The line to the pump should be on the end without the extra hose.
Testimonial: "Your Answer Was Very Helpful Since This Filter Is Rusted And I Am Unable To See The Line Showing The Flow Direction. Thank You!"

Verify you have good strong spark at the plugs. Also you want to check the fuel pressure with a gauge. If it's within specs and you have good spark, it could be flooded. Once in a while these trucks will flood the plugs if the secondary ignition has not been replaced in a while. Try starting the truck with the throttle wide open (clear flood mode) and see if it fires. If not, look at the plugs and replace as needed.

Check vacuum lines going to evap canister for cracks or splits, causes to much raw air intake.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE WIRES ON THE RIGHT PLUGS.YOU MAY NEED TO GET THE CODES SCANNED TO NARROW DOWN YOUR PROBLEM BUT I THINK IT'S A FIREING ORDER PROBLEM.IF THIS IS NOT THE CASE THEN DO A COMPRESSION TEST ON THE MOTOR TO SEE IF YOU NEED TO GO DEAPER.
SOURCE: Where is the fuel filter for a 1987 Dodge dakota
The fuel filter is under the hood, center, upper engine area, above intake assembly, mounted in fuel line.
The fuel pump should be in the tank or on top of the tank. Trace your fuel line back once you find your filter and you will find it.
