I dont know about erratic spark, but every plug is sparking. Maybe I should try switching injectors??

Is there any way other than a timing light to figure out which cylinder is missing?

If you have a miss you either have no spark or erratic spark, meaning it's not steady and all that good stuff.

I'm sure there is other ways, I don't know them. Guarantee someone else here does...

Would be beneficial to narrow it down to which plug(s) before doing anything else...

I let it idle, and pulled off injector plugs. It seems to be the number 3 injector that isnt pumping any fuel. When I pulled off other ones there was a noticable difference. There was no change when I pulled the number three

I'd focus there.

You could switch 1&3 injectors and see if the miss follows to #1.

Go to www.hemifevertuning.com. Not $400. SCT is great tune for thses. Contact Sean and let him know what PCM and what engine you have. It matters.....

He is the one I emailed about it, and I told him I was doing the conversion. He said like $395 I believe for the one I need.

Anyhow, I have it 100% back together and she is purring like a kitten. Im affraid to drive it though before getting it tuned. I am gonna order the tuner I need tomorrow

Glad you got it running! Got any pics or videos?

Is the tune just to tune from 5.2 to 5.9 or is it also the "canned" tunes he does?

Unless you have other than bolt on mods... http://www.hemifevertuning.com/Dodge...p_ECM_s/33.htm

Maybe the extra $100 is because it has a different PCM and he has to do more programming.
