Default '95 Ram -5 no spark when cold
Have a '95 Ram with a 5.9 that cranks very well but has no spark when it's cold outside. Starts fine when it's warmer, towards the 60's or 50's. Any ideas?

Coil, ASD relay, crank sensor, or wiring problem.

Replaced coil twice thinking that was it but still does it.

I've seen this in the past on here. Try warming up the PCM in the morning before you try and start it. If that work's, I'm afraid your pcm needs replace.

Either take it in the house, or hit it with a blow dryer, or something similar.

Wrap it in a blanket and cuddle it till it's cozy.
