Hello I'm new to this forum, hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.2 engine, I was driving the other day and the engine just cut out on me with no warning, the engine turns over but does not start. I changed the ignition coil, distributer cap, rotor, pickup coil, but did no good, there is no fire going to the spark plugs. Any ideas about where to look or what to do would be greatly appreciated. ohh I just remembered there are no codes showing up either.

 

Gonna move this to the second gen ram section for ya.

Sounds like all that is left is the crank position sensor. It's behind the passenger side head, on the bellhousing.

Does your fuel pump prime? Does it run while cranking?

 

If you haven't already checked/changed them, maybe your plug wires are bad. My last dodge died randomly and the engine would crank but wouldn't start because one of my wires had been laying on the exhaust manifold and burnt a hole through it. Replaced the spark plug wires and it fixed it. Just my 2 cents

 

thanx for the info, will try it.

 

you can get a spark tester for pretty cheap, put it inline with each wire and test them out, make sure ur really not gettin spark and start workin ur way backwards man.
