how to diagnose dodge ram 1500 3.9 5.2 5.9 crank no start is it missing fuel, compression, spark?

[funniersphere]

Finally someone who's smart enough to explain this I've been searching and looking for almost a decade now reason being I don't know anything about dodge and my brother was in a fatal accident that ended up with him and three others loosing there life and his trucks the only thing I have left and it ended up losing its life with them (it flipped into a fish hatchery) yes it's sad but life goes on and I've been trying to repair it so I can at least have that to remember him/them by thank you so much I can't explain how much appreciation I have for you now

Thank you for the step by step demonstration on what and how to check for spark 👍. Good job and God bless. ✌️.

Thanks. Just found my router contact at a 45 degree. Plastic wore out and the coil to distribute completely black. Helped huge

Good video. Had a neighbor vomw over and chat with me so didn't get to even finish the video, but swapped an old distributor cap after noticing the center stud was rather warn & she popped right off!

Brass distributor caps and the more expensive brass rotor last a lot longer. I try to only use the better cap and wires on mine because it's such a pain to get to on these engines. And dielectric grease on the contacts so they don't corrode. I just use the stock Champion plugs because I've used the expensive ones before, and I noticed no difference except the price.

Hi 2001 dodge ram 1500 5.9 L 4x4

Random stall out at idle, got stranded idling in parking lot at work, thought it was fuel pump becuase would crank no start, banged on pump would start with stepping on gas, would idle perfectly fine.

Driving home dies again, I repeat to see how far I go, down the block from home I start to push cuz it woundnt start, I let cool off and it starts.

1 week later I turn it on first try and start (didn’t drive it though), replaced fuel pump (I can hear it when key in ON).stayed idling for 29 minutes. Then dyed.

Sometimes it start sometimes it doesn’t, oil pressure good, battery good, Ac perfect, tested all fuses( not relays) can’t find fuel pump fuse.

With light tester, Took off and Tested ignition coil read fine. Took off coil connected to spark plug and was fine.

Thinking bad pick up sensor that’s under distributer?

Has code P0505 for IAC but I replaced it a year ago and it’s still had code but never stalled until now. Could it be bad PCM?

I'm definitely trying this tomorrow on my 95 Dakota. Great trouble shooting technique.

Great job primo, and thanks for taking the time to explain this to us, god bless have a nice day

[jameshoffman]

Very good step by step video looking forward to more videos

I just did this on a 2001 dodge Dakota 3.9L. I put a cam sensor and crank sensor. The crank sensor and the cam sensor inside the distributor work together so the PCM will send spark to the distributor then to the spark plugs.

Good video. Appreciate you're help

I have a 5.2 Dodge, looking for answers, yesterday I replaced the distributor cap rotor, the coil oh, and the crankshaft sensor I still have no spark? Some say the plugs and wires Maybe and on some blogs they say it could be the computer?

[kdeltatube]

Awesome, the secret is revealed. Great job! Great use off your camera!

[loso]

Thanks I’ll try this. My 96 dodge 1500 cranks but won’t start too. I need to buy one of those tester things you got.

Hey buddy, not sure if you reply often

Long story short lost my brother he had 98 ram with 318 engine. I got it running, and I figured I would change spark plugs distributor cap wires and rotor.
I changed everything and now my truck barely turns over ( only if you press throttle down ) and it runs very rough. Shuts down if you let off gas, and the belt is squeeking and wasn’t before.

I ended up putting old distributor cap back on, old rotor back on, and I even took out plugs and gapped them correctly. Truck will not run and runs rough. I really don’t know what to do now..

Thanks for the help. God bless you too
