Alright well I have a post going in another forum just to get some different feedback from other people. And some said about checking the coil
Well I did the trick where you pull a plug and ground it and watch for spark which it had. Now here's where it gets a little interesting I replacedmy factor coil pigtail connecter with a weather pac connecter cause I broke the factory one now i haven
Idea what possessed me to do this but I removed the plug a d turned it 180 degrees so it would be plugged in backwards and the truck ran the same, put it back to the proper position and it ran the same...this can't possibly be normal

Doesn't matter. All that's happening there is you are applying voltage to a coiled wire, which creates a magnetic field in around the primary windings. (the part that you are actually plugging in to.) Removing the ground from the coil collapses the magnetic field, and generates a current in the secondary winding, which is what actually generates the energy for the spark, that fires the cylinder. Perfectly normal.

Huh...well that's interesting makes sense tho now that I think about it I did get my TPS replaced for free so I'm going to replace that tonight yet I hopebut of course it has to be raining here again! It doesent run for 2 months straight here and all of a sudden it has yo pour when I want to work on the dodge

And there's a flag on the post. Here comes the ref, let's hear what he has to say:
Oversharing! Ten yard penalty. No first down......

Replaced the TPS it is at 13.5% at idle and 72% when I put it to the floor which is what it was before seems odd but that's what it always read when it worked right. The MAP reads 14.2 at idle as well just thought I would post that cause I'm not really sure what it means. Is there anyway to set the fuel sync without the high end scanner just to get a good ballpark setting I can fine tune it with the scanner at work if I have to but I really don't want to drive the truck that far with the way it's running now.
