I have a 1985 Dodge Van Ram 150 / 225 inline 6. Turn over but won't fire up. There is fuel, spark. I change the coil, the rotter and cap, sparkplugs. I don't know what to do anymore, please help!

 

Got compression?
Did you try starting fluid?
Did you check computer codes?

 

Is the ballast resistor blown?

What about the starter solenoid relay on the firewall or engine mounted wheel well?

I once had a Plymonth Duster with the /6 in it. Those two items tend to be the no-start problems of those days.

Currently I running a 2001 B2500 Ram Van.

 

I hate to claim any real knowlegde over alloro or stev but I would suggest a new or used pcm.\
I have a 96 b2500 and I am on my 2nd pcm. Used of course b/c Of the cheapness I buy them( just over $100)

 

Since he's getting fuel and spark it's pretty safe to rule out the PCM except as a last resort. The next things to check is the compression, then timing.

Those cheap PCMs aren't so cheap if you have to keep replacing them! [sm=chairshot.gif]

 

If it is the ballast resistor it will begin to run and then when the key is turned back from start to run it will stall. Those are about $5-$8 The balast resistor is a white block bolted to the firewall on the drivers side, If it failed buy two, they are cheap and easy when you are stuck without one.

The ignition control module is about $20 and the Engine Control module reman is $180. If you want to attempt a yard part, all of these are the same from 85-87, though in 87 they removed the balast resistor. t
