2001 1500 360 was running fine would randomly not start after a rain would stumble and cough but did start after a day of drying. Was on a long trip home loaded with trailer in tow and she just stalled at 60 mph restarted stumbled and died. CAA towed us the 143 ks home tried again and crank crank no start .Is there a sequence to pull codes via the dash panel.I could hear the fuel pump prime and stop so I'm sure there is fuel coming up .Thank you in advance

 

Turn key on 3 times and see codes in digital odometer display.

 

If it rains and it don't start after that's usually a good indication if a cracked distributor cap. It gets moisture inside and the rotor doesn't make good contact and doesn't give good spark

 

Need to see what's missing. It's going to be either spark, or fuel. Was it raining when it died on the road?

 

No its was not raining was a clear beautiful night .
Im going to try and ck codes with the key trick but i thought that didnt work on anything above 98 ?

 

It would only do this randomly when it rained I figured cap rotor but looks like a real b**** to get at so far back in there

 

Oh, it's fun. No doubt about that. You can check codes, but, it may or may not be enlightening. Check and see if you are getting spark from the coil.

 

pulled the only code p0351 which is apparently coil related unfortunately I have no one here to crank while i try to see if we get arc from coil tower to coil wire .The coil was replaced a few years ago before I owned it you do get a faint wiff of fuel .will see when the wife is here to assist .

 

So tried to see if there is spark from the coil to the coil wire and nothing at all at least in the dark you can see an arc easier .I was told the coil was replaced but it looks like its been there forever the wire looks newer . More digging tomorrow

 

I use my old trusty inductive timing light to check out spark conditions. Easily understand what is going on with anything that has spark plug wires. Can probably pick one of those up used pretty cheap.

Here is one that is similar to the one I have.. guessing mine is probably 30 years old.
