Recheck the plug wires. If they are right, put cylinder one on top dead center. pull the distributor cap. It should be where it is supposed to be or 180 degrees off(at number 6). If not there, someone has just moved the wires to make it run. Reset the distributor.

SOURCE: 1998 dodge ram pickup 318 eng.

If the engine seems to run fine over 1450 RPM maybe there is a vacuum hose leaking or EGR valve is slightly stuck open. Any help from the OBD II trouble codes? Or is there simply no MIL and no stored information in the OBD II computer read at the local parts store through the connector by the drivers knee?

I have a 2000 dodge ram with the 5.9 engine is not getting fire.i have replaced coil,cap,rotor button,and wires. possibly an ecm prob?

check the camshaft position sensor inside the distributor. remove the distributor cap. take a volt meter and use either a paper clip or a small pin to insert into the back of the distributor connector (yellow wire). connect the positive side of voltmeter to yellow wire. rotate engine with starter until the rotor is pointed toward the rear of vehicle. with the ignition on( engine not running) the voltmeter should say 5 volts. if there is no voltage check the voltage on supply wire . with the key on there should be approximately 8.0 volts. if voltage is presant, install the probes of the voltmeter into the signal wire (tan/yellow) and crank the engine over to observe the voltage reading. the meter should read 5.0 volts indicating that the ignition signal is pulsing properly. if the camshaft sensor fails either test (replace it).
