ok, if fuel pump works it shouldnt be ASD. I know you say you have no spark at the coil or dist. Do you have power? check with either a multimeter or test light.

oK, hmmm, I'm gonna stab in the dark and say to try a check on your crank or cam sensor. with no signal coming from them you wont have power at your coil.

Where could I get a wiring diagram for this vehicle. My Haynes manual is of no help and the dodge dealer has no available diagram. A factory manual from Chrysler Publications costs $95.

The cam sensor is under the dist cap...the flat disc looking deal with the 2 wires going to it. The crank sensor is on the passenger side back of the block when the bell housing meets the engine.

If it were a crank or cam sensor would there not be a check engine lite. I have pluged in my code reader and there are no codes. And yes the check engine does work. I removed the crank sensor, cleaned and reinstalled. Engine refuses to start.
