Default Help please
I did some work on my 03 1500 5.9 magnum and forgot to put the lower radiator hose clamp back on. When the water started to spray I turned off the engine and put the clamp on but now the engine will not start. I have since changed the Ignition coil and crankshaft sensor. As far as I can tell I have no power going through the Ignition coil. Any help would be appreciated.

If it ran till it got wet, then wouldn't run anymore..... maybe the distributor cap got wet?

Did you happen to drive it before you noticed the water spraying?

It was running until I turned it off to fix the hose. I have determined that there is no spark at the Ignition coil

Did not drive. Was testing it out after putting it together.

You said no spark at the coil, is there power to the coil?
