1996 Dodge Ram 1500 360 4X4

Starts and runs good, can get in it an go to town 15 miles one way and 90% of the time when I get back in it to leave it won’t start. Cranks over good but NOT getting FIRE. Have let it set over night, and sometimes 3 or 4 hours it will start right back up.

  1. First thing you need to check when it will not start is if it is not getting Spark and or Fuel Injector pulse.

    If you are not getting fuel injector pulse and no spark, it may be a bad crank sensor and or ECM (we know the ECM fuse is good or it wouldn’t run at all, ever)

    If you have injector pulse but no spark, your Ignition System has an issue. Most common would be the ignition module is going bad.

    If you have spark but no injector pulse, possible bad cam sensor and or ECM.

    Of course if the check engine light is on, pull the codes and post them in the comments below.
