Got an analog meter? Stick it in the tan/yellow wire on the cam sensor connector (with it still hooked up) and the needle should bounce when you crank the engine.

Do you have a set if noid lights? You could use them to verify injector pulse which would rule out the pcm and injector wiring. I would also check to make sure you have adequate fuel pressure by hooking up a gauge to the port on the fuel rail. If its a 98 or older it should be at 39 psi 98 and newer should be about 49 psi.

Since this is a new motor I'm going to assume that you had to install the distributor which means you will need to set fuel sync as well. The best way is with a high end scanner but there is a procedure on here somewhere on how to get it close without a scanner.

Why is a tech question in the General section?

Same reason we have general threads in the tech section, and all manner of interesting threads in the FAQ section.

Going to check all the wires and grounds again.
The its going to be towed to Dodge dealer where they will spend 8-10 hours checking everything i have previously checked, before using all that fancy equipment to locate and maybe fix the problem.
Based on their 185$$ an hour i will have a brand new 18 year old 1995 Ram 1500, empty pockets and skinned alive.
And of course i will never be told exactly what the problem was.

Not to get off topic but as my grandfather would say "It's the price we pay to live where we live".

Not sure if i may have missed something here.
Fuel sync, im not sure if i understand that procedure.
I will tell you that when i installed new distributor, the two dots on timing gears were exactly as required and shown in tech specs.
The #1 piston was at TDC, and the rotor on distributor was exactly lined up with #1 on distributor cap.
Everything was exactly to tech specs.
I have searched for information to better help me from here, but nothing i can find hits the nail on the head so to speak.
