1995 dodge ram won't start when warm

I have a 1995 dodge ram 1500 sport with a 3.9L V6. it starts and runs fine when it is cold, but when the temperature gauge reaches approximately 95 the engine loses power and sometimes shuts off. the engine will not start again until engine cools down.

when engine is warm an not tarting there is no fire and when connected to a scane tool there are no rpms recorded.

could it be the crank shaft sensor causing this? i have replaced the coil but problem still persists. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes the crank sensor can cause this problem, they go open when hot.

03 dodge ram 1500 crew cab 4.7l v8 starts fine when cold but won't start after it is warm
First i would check the crank sensor by looking for rpm's on the tachometer or scan tool if you see any rpm's then crank sensor is good.Then check for leaking injectors and if they are not leaking then you will need to check the ECM it may have failed.

My dodge is a 1996 dodge ram 1500 with a 3.9 v6. my truck runs rough most of the time, i took it to autozone and they said that the check engine light was indicating that the truck was running too lean....
intermittent lean condition may be caused by leaking intake manifold gaskets. Get some carb cleaner and start the truck. Open the hood and spray carb cleaner on the intake manifold gaskets. If the engine reacts at all, you have a gasket leak. If you have questions, please let me know.

1997 dodge 1500 starts fine when cold, won't restart when warm.
No, the coil the is not the problem. I would take the ignition module and have it tested. Even though it may not test bad b/c it is still cold, it is more than likely the problem. Have you checked to see if you are getting spark when the trouble occurs?

It may be a bad starter or the starter solenoid. If by not starting you mean it will not turn engine, but if the engine is turning then the starter is turning so it is something else all together.
Starters will usually work when they are cold then once warm or hot they will not work.
Hope this helps!
