1995 ram 2500 v10 issue

[Wilson Fink]

Hello, I have a 1995 ram 2500 with the V10 engine. It had the ICM go out when it was my dad's truck which caused him to just park it for about 7 years. A year ago, I figured out and fixed that problem, and have been using it around the farm since, it hasn't been on the road since my dad parked it. Recently, a new issue has arised. At random, the truck will just... shut off, and will crank, but won't start for a little while. When it does start again, it runs just as good as ever until it does it again. Checking codes with the check engine light flashing sequence, it gives me one code, code number 11, which reads: "No ignition reference signal detected during cranking." My dad and I have thought about it a bit, and think it may be a bad ground somewhere that loses contact here and there? I haven't messed with the grounds yet, I wanted to see what everyone's thoughts were first.
Thanks!
Wilson-

Are you getting your issues sorted out?
The ground is supplied by the PCM, but the wiring in between could be the problem. Both power and ground. The wiring on these trucks by now is weak at best. I've had a similar problem in the past, on my '95, brittle/broken wires the culprit.
The forum parrots bagging on you for not trying to 'read live data' are short of insight/information.
Pre-'96 V-10s don't easily 'stream' live data like OBDII. Never seen any live data for OBDI short of a factory DRB ScanTool.
If you are still chasing this, I have a hard copy of the 1995 Powertrain Diagnostics manual, companion to the FSM. Has diagnostic trees for every code. Uses the DRB tool mostly, but you can figure out a lot of it with a VOM and test light.
I can scan the tree if you are interested.
