1997 2500 4x4 5.9 gas 5spd 8800 GVWR
Replaced fuel pump, spark plugs, checked ignition coil resistance. The engine turns over and you can smell gas out the tail pipe, I pulled a plug and it was sparking. Pulled the codes and came up with p0351 "Ignition Coil A primary/secondary Malfunction. The resistance was in the listed ranges both primary and secondary 1.1 and 13000 ohms respectivly. Truly stumped and frustrated. Any ideas?

 

if it was me i would replace the coil. about $50.
i'm also wondering if it has jumped time, or has a bad crank or cam sensor ??
when did it run last and what did it do when it quit ?

 

I'm thinking new cap/rotor at this point. Last run 5 days ago. MSD coil. Classic run then stop, not start again. Any recs, on cap and rotors?

 

Replace cap & rotor and see if it does it. if not it may be crank position sensor located on back of block. I had same problem as you but replaced sensor first, didnt work then cap & rotor replaced and it ran.
