I have a 1995 dakota that has the 318 in it. I replaced it with a 318 out of a 1993 half ton full size truck. Everything is swapped over now but i cannot get spark from any of the plugs. Is there something different between these engines? I have checked all fuses and replaced the coil and yes there is power to the coil. What else should i check? All help will be greatly appreciated.

 

My first guess would be the crank sensor is bad or broken or pinched wires. Do you have any check engine light codes? Do you have correct fuel pressure?

 

My check engine light does not light up at all. And I haven't checked the fuel pressure.

 

If you got no light at all the PCM is not getting power. I could be a simple as a power supply not connected or a bad or unhooked ground or bad fuse. Or the notorious splice the FAQ hsa a great write up.

 

I found a ground wire that had not been hooked up..truck starts right up now..thanks for the help Crazy

 

I'm glad it was a simple fix.
