Default 1992 Ramcharger Limited (Ignition Problem?)

Hello!!

I have a problem with a 1992 ramcharger limited. I drove for about 4 hours and got home. The next morning the engine ran for a few seconds and then stopped. After that, i simply could not start the engine. There was no spark. Replaced the ignition coil, thepickup coil and the same condition remained. Inspected the wires, checked forhigh impedance and everythingseems to be incomplete order. The ASD relay is alsoingood working condition, in fact, when turning the key to on,youcan hear the fuel pumpfor half a second andthe ignition voltage goes near 12Volts for this period of time. When cranking the ignition voltage remains zeroand after a few seconds you can smell the odor of gas through the throttle body, but no spark at all.

I've checked the DTC's and no Code 11 was found.

Is there any way to simulate the pulses that the pickup coil generates in order to test the engine controller?

Any help will be really appreciated

Thank you!!

P.S. Please excuse my awful english.

Your 92 has a Magnum engine with multi port injection. It also has anothere sensor on the bellhousing called the Crankshaft Position Sensor. This may be where your problem lies.

Hello!!

Thanks for your reply. Looked there, but there's no sensor. Just a rubber cap and the engine is not multipoint injection. I think all these differences are because it's a mexican model. it's 92 and has a 5.9L engine, but it uses TBI. Is there another thing that could be causing this problem?

Thanks in advance.
