ive got a 99 dodge 4x4 always started right off np no matter how long it set last week it ran outta gas i put gas in it yesterday and now it wont start rolls over got lots of gas dosent seem to have any spark

any idea what to change first

could a fuse of blown

 

Pump the gas pedal a little bit and keep trying to start it. It can be a pain in the *** if it got air in the line.

 

i tried dumping a little gas right down the throtle body didnt even kick pulled the plug wire off stuck a plug in it and no spark to the coil wire of the distrubitor plug a spark plug right in the end of it and tried it no spark either

 

It's fuel injected. Pumping the peddle won't do a thing. How do you know you're getting gas? Did you check it at the fuel rail? Did you check to see if you are getting spark. You could have stirred up some junk in fuel tank when you filled the empty tank up and clogged the filter on the bottom of the pump. You could have condensation or water in the lines from it sitting empty.

 

IDK Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and turn the key on when it's disconnected. This should reset the computer. hook everything back up and see if it starts. Maybe the computer stopped sending a signal to the ignition because it ran out of gas. IDK just something to try before spending any money and taring in to it.

 

to check to see if you have fuel pressure you will have to borrow a pressure guage from a mechanic or someone, if you have the appropriate fuel pressure, i belive it is 43 pounds of pressure, if you do have the fuel pressure, then check your spark, with a spark tester, and borrow a coil tester to check your coil, ive had both my distributor cap and coil go on my truck

 

its getting fuel wouldnt a spark plug do the same trick as a spark tester?

 

as long as you ground the spark plug

 

yea.. grab an extra plug and disconnect one of your wires... hold it to something thats grounded.. look for a blue spark and a loud TICK.. be carefull though.. dont touch the end or youll feel a little tickle.

 

by little he means a very very suprising snap
