Hello, I have a 1990 dodge ram 318 that quit firing. Got no spark at coil and fuel pump not turning on when I turn the key. I replaced the coil and the pick up coil and the as relay. Plus my starter quit just now but it might be the battery not sure yet. Does anyone have any ideas?

 

Welcome to DF.

I will move you to the correct section.

 

When you turn the key, what exactly happens? Does it try to turn over or do you hear a click or what?

 

It will turn over but will not fire. The rotor button turns aswell. Thanks for moving me to the right section, and thanks for ur time.

 

does anyone have an idea what it could be?

 

Hey shadowbuilder94. I joined the forum this morning just to comment on your post. I have an '89 ram d250 318 with the exact the symptoms you describe. Attempting to 'shade tree' mechanic, I've replaced the coil, fuel filter, and fuel lines, with no luck.
However, my truck will sometimes start and run with no problems, but within a short time, die. No spark from the coil and fuel pump not working.
Reading some previous post on this forum, I learned about the ASD relay, which controls both the coil and the fuel pump. So, I went to the nearest dodge dealer and bought the relay ($17.00). While there, the Tech told me the relay is designed to turn off systems if one of the components (controlled by the relay) fails. So if the fuel pump fails, the relay shuts down the coil (or the other way around).
I installed the relay and my truck started, ran a few minutes, and died. Maybe this information will help you. Test the ASD relay. I guess I need a fuel pump.

 

Also when pulling relays sometimes you have to wiggle them to get them out.
This wiggle can loosen the terminals that the relay plugs into.
Had this problem when fuel pump went out on my 96.
Also can be caused from probing around with test lights or meters.
Loose terminals will cause intermittent issues.
