I have a 99 Dodge Ram 1500


It turns over and wont start. It has spark, fuel, and just wont start.


Measured fuel at the rail (45). Got a new coil today. It cranks, and have spark, but won't start. ANY Ideas ?


It was fine, parked it. 2 days later, NO START.


ANY ideas GREATLY Appreciated....

 

Well you should probably get it checked by a mechanic, any suggestions from here won't do any good. There might be plenty of reasons for the car not to start.

 

Moved to the 2nd gen Ram section. Their suggestions will help you out. Welcome to DF.

 

Any codes? Getting injector pulse? Not flooded out by chance is it?

Pull a couple plugs from the back, see what they look like.

 

No Codes whatsoever. I even poured fuel down the throttle body, and it STILL wouldn't start.
I have Spark
I have Fuel (45 lbs at the fuel rail )
I have some compression (Don't have a tester, so I used my finger)


It turns over fine. It Just won't Start.


I have researched it for 6 days now, to maybe find some form of factory
anti-theft thing. Found nothing.


I have a friend coming over tonight. He is 49 years old. And been working on cars since he was 5 or 6.
If he can't figure it out, I don't know what the next step is.

 

Maybe cam sensor?

 

If you have spark, and it won't fire even with gas poured in... I am thinkin' you have some serious problems..... Did you verify spark AT the plugs?

 

I'm thinking it's an electrical issue. Checked all the fuses, inside and outside, all seemed fine. (Checked with an ohm meter).


There were 2 fuses, I couldn't seem to access, a yellow plastic tang of some type.


I'm running OUT of ideas...

 

I tested for spark, by pulling off a plug wire, and attaching an older spark plug ....I don't have a spark plug tester.

 

Probably the IOD fuse, shouldn't have any effect on starting. (Ignition Off Draw, for things like dome light, radio memory, etc.)

Are your plugs fuel fouled? What brand plugs? (I have had little success of getting champions to fire again, once they got wet.....)
