#3244 of 3275 94 RAM 2500, 360 5.9L, no spark at engine by schuss Sep 25, 2006 (8:55 am)
Truck was running great until it sat for about a hour after a 20 mile trip, and it ran for about 5 mins and stopped. It was like someone hit a kill switch, and the engine just stopped and truck rolled to stop. Then it would turn over and almost start...waited 10 mins and it fired off. Drove for about 5 mins more and it stopped again, same thing as before. Turned over for a bit.. nothing, then it fired off and ran really rough and stopped after about a min or two. The engine is not getting a spark, replaced coil last summer, replaced distributer cap and rotor, still no spark at engine. There is spark out of the coil. Not a fuel problem, new pump and filter last summer to. Engine is not seeing any spark. Could be wires?, but all 8 at once? Thanks for any help Replies to this message: mac24 (Sep 26, 2006 4:29 am)

Replying to: schuss (Sep 25, 2006 8:55 am) Could be wires?, but all 8 at once?   Unlikely, but it could be the one wire from the coil to the cap. Could also be the rotor arm or the cap itself. Finally, just because it was replaced last summer doesn't mean the coil can't be bad.

Yeah, i got a spark out of the coil when i grounded it, so i think the coild is good. I replaced the cap just the other day (sorry about that is poorly worded). I guess it could be the wires though, i think that is next. Replies to this message: corkscrew (Sep 29, 2006 11:47 am)

Replying to: schuss (Sep 26, 2006 1:06 pm) One way to check spark plug wires is to run the engine at night, in complete darkness. Look for sparks arking from the wires to the engine. Also check the ends of the wires, where they fit on the plugs and the distributor. They should be clean and tight.
#3248 of 3275 Wife had a scare by marsha7 Sep 30, 2006 (3:51 pm)
yesterday...2004 Ram 1500 Hemi 2WD...she was in a McD's parking lot, only moving forward about 3-5 mph, and she suddenly lost power steering and the dash engine light and parking brake light came on flashing...the engine was running fine, car did not stumble or stall, but she had to use all of her strength to turn the steering wheel...once she was out of the way, she stopped, turned the engine off, turned it back on, everything was fine...vehicle never did this before, but loss of power steering made it quite stressful/difficult to steer, esp at very low speed...   I took it to local shop (not Dodge dealer), they hooked up their computer to look for some diagnostic code, but there was no code, so nothing could be diagnosed, at least at this time...   I thought she might have been up against a curb, which would make it difficult to turn the wheel, but she was in the middle of the parking lot, and that would not explain why dash lights would come on...   Has anyone experienced this situation, and could you resolve it???...she is obviously quite afraid that it might happen again...thanks...

#3251 of 3275 Re: No power [mac24] by soho033 Oct 03, 2006 (12:55 pm)
Replying to: mac24 (Aug 12, 2006 9:43 am) Hi; I have a 98 Dodge Ram 1500 V6, my problem only occurs when i make a left turn. My truck loses power (I can rev it up to no avail) so I back off the gas and there's a hard bump ( like bumper cars) then it will accelerate! Is this a fuel pump problem? Seems odd that it only happens when I make a left turn. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Replies to this message: mac24 (Oct 03, 2006 2:15 pm)

Replying to: soho033 (Oct 03, 2006 12:55 pm) If you can rev it up it's not a fuel starvation problem, most likely transmission. Sounds like you're low on fluid and it's maybe not picking it up as you corner.
#3253 of 3275 More 96 RAM transmission trouble by scare Oct 04, 2006 (8:59 am)
I have been looking though the archives and see that I am not alone in my transmission problems. Fortunately, I have read posts that suggest that my problem may not be as expensive to fix as I feared, but I will post my issues here to get your opinions:   96 SLT Laramie 5.9 automatic with 200k mi. on it.   Does not like to shift into reverse or what feels like 3rd gear. Going forward it revs to about 3500 almost right away once I put it in gear and give it gas, then stays around 3500 while going 30-40 mph, but I never feel a shift once I get to that point (never kicks down), so I don't try to go any faster (it used to get up to 70 mph faster than I could believe). When I try to shift into reverse, it often does nothing at all regardless of how may times I try to shift, turn the truck off/on, etc. On the times it does shift into reverse, it does so with a big kind of 'clunk' and then jumps into gear. I have noticed that it takes longer to get to this relatively usable condition when the weather is cold.   What are the things that I should be looking for? Is this something that I can do myself (with 200k, I don't want to spend too much)?
