1997 dodge ram 1500 wont start
I have a 1997 dodge ram 1500 5.9l, my truck has recently stopped running at first it ran but it would run like crap and then i was pulling in my driveway and hasnt started since. It felt like it was misfiring but the check engine light was not blinking so i have changed the distributor and the crank shaft sensor i have new spark plugs and wires. It still will not fire im getting no spark and im at a loss i have done a test on the ignition coil also.
Please help!!!!!
Please help!!!!!
Had a similar problem a while back. I went nutz checking everything. It would run fine for a while, then crap out. Tested the fuel pressure, and everything checked out. replaced a lot of parts and brought it to a local shop. they couldn't find anything. It finally died on the interstate, the only time I cussed the old girl. Changed the fuel pump, and it never acted up again.

How did you test coil? What was the result? Do you get spark at plugs? Pull disty cap and make sure the rotor is in correct position and it is undamaged. If it was not on far enough, you can break it and it will not make contact. See if you have spark at disty end of coil wire. If so, put it back on and pull a plug wire. Do they all have spark?
Have you checked fuel pressure? Air, fuel and spark.
