i had a bad battery in the truck and i went to switch them out and now i got them switched and i can't get any spark
i've checked all fuses
checked coil pack
not getting any spark out though
it seem to be whatever tells the coil to spark is not working???
i tracked the wires but then i loose them in the bundle on the firewall
what tells the coil to spark? what could it be
its a 97 ram 2500 with a 360 in it if it matters
please help
thanx much nick kendall

 

forgot to mention now that this happened the check engine does not turn on at all?
it was on all the time before and now it never lights...dunno if this has something to do with it?

 

crank sensor controls it, but is your fuel pump turning on?
it sounds like you may have lost your crank sensor. and the pcm threw a code about it, but it was never checked, and now the pcm sees no voltage from the sensor, thus disengageing the asd relay, killing power to the fuel pump, and coil pack, as well as a few other things.

heres a link to a similar thread.

is there anyway 2 be sure if it is the crank sensor? i don't want 2 buy 1 then not have that be the problem
would that cause the check engine light 2 quit working?

 

the asd relay kills the fuel pump, the coil, and a bunch of other things. you should probly clean your crank sensor first.

does your fuel gauge work when you turn the key to run?

 

where is the crank position sensor located?

 

just checked and fuel guage shows 1/4 tank even with the key out of the truck and same when keys in run position

 

its on the passanger side, back of the motor on top of the bell housing. its a PITA to get to though. i just did it today, time will tell if i fixed the problem.

 

what does it take to get it off?

 

1/2 inch socket. theres 2 bolts that hold it down.
