was in here before but lost internet access and email so had to start over
Have a 87 ram 318 auto truck started and ran then just died no warning replaced wires ,distributor, plugs, 2 coils, harness igniton switch still no fire out of coil. Tried 3 computers and still nothing even unpluged wipers and light and dimmer swtiches. Had service guy from Dodge dealer check it out got the right readings at coil and computer any one have any other ideas. no one here has any clue what it can beTruck has been sitting for a yr hoping it will start when i turn the key miss the old beast

 

Will it start and run if you spay a shot of starting fluid in the carb?

 

tried the fluid and gas it is pumping gas down the carb
no fire comming out of center coil wire. everything works on the truck lights horn wipers checked the coil with meter getting the right numbers computers work on neighbors 86
any hiden fuzes any where? motor just cranks battery fully charged and used deep cycle from boat motor. fuel pump ok too some where it is shuting power to coil when I try to start it

 

When you say computers, is this a spark control module near the battery?

Does the distributor have 2 or 4 wires coming out of it.

Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage at coil positive terminal with the ignition in "Start" and then in "On". What readings do you get?

Do you have a tilt steering column?

Manual or automatic transmission?

Are the cap and rotor in good shape?

 

the control unit on the drivers fender. No tilt auto trans. reading on the coil had been in normal range. there is spark going in and out the control unit. there is no ballist resitor on the truck.tried another starter relay. only thing not changed was oil pressure sending unit there is clicking on passenger side at some boxes with vacum lines and connectors. disconnect altinator and voltage regular still no start.
