Engine won't fire
I'm going to assume that because you said the spark plug(s) was/were not sparking, that you have tested it and it's not just a random guess. First, of course, check to see if your car's battery has a charge. You can take it to most auto parts shops to test it, and all the ones here I know (Autozone, O'Reily's, Advance Auto Parts) will do it for free.

1994 Dodge B150 won't start
Your mechanic may be correct about your computer? On older vehicles, I've seen where the check engine lite was burnt out. On some of these, I hooked up a scanner to the data link connector, the scanner shows live engine data, even if the vehicle won't start, you can get some info, if the computer is ok. No, I couldn't get trouble codes. I don't know what testing was done by you or the mechanic?
You can test the basics, make sure battery has a full charge. If it cranks good but won't start, have a helper crank it while you visually check for spark at the spark plugs, where applicable. If spark everywhere, use a gage and check proper fuel pressure and fuel injector pulse.
Engine rattles and loses power when throttling
I had a 1973 Dodge Dart Sport with a 318 c.i. engine (5.2 liter) that started doing the same thing around 173,000 miles. I replaced the main and rod bearings (.001" undersized) and the oil pump and it ran like new until I sold it about 15,000 miles later. Check the crank surfaces carefully for damage when you take the bearing caps off. If they show any rough surfaces you will probably need to have the crank machined.
Have an 88 dodge 1/2
I'am guessing you don't have the distributor set correctly
Under the rotor there is a plate
Under the plate is a Hall Effect Sensor for injector timing,
not ignition timing
Move the distributor & you have problems

Looking for 83 dodge B150
I have some really nice diagrams but please post the engine size and whether or not you have an oxygen sensor, if you know, and I'll post the right pictures. There are too many to post every option.
Its actually a B1500 3.9
Yes, this is normal what is going on is that your oil pump is not spinning as fast. your pump runs off the motor and the fast the motor goes ( rmp ) the fast the pump spins and pumps. the motor dose not need as much at low rmp as high rpm. look up toroidal oil pump.

Converter Lockup - won't unlock
I had a 1994 Dodge Ram same as you have it sounds. The Red Dodge Ram I had it malfunctioned and my brake became the throttle. I had to put the truck in reverse then park to stop it. Are you sure its not electrical and the curse control is not giving you trouble? Mine had multifunction switch was not working and the headlight switch burned up. I also found out that Audi had problem with the brake becoming the throttle in the 1980s Daimler Chrysler and Audi were German made. I don't think there is an easy answer. I hope you stay safe.

The starter relay is found in the underhood fuse panel, located driver's side of the engine bay between the battery and the shock mount.
