I've got a 97 dodge ram 1500 it's got the 5.9 360 it cut off on me in the woods and wouldn't start again all it does is turn over now it has no spark and the fuel pump doesn't come on unless I bridge the relay what's my problem? I've read from different people it could be a crank shafts sensor or the computer

Try replacing the ASD relay, when they go out they cause symptoms exactly like this.

If the check engine light is not lighting up for a short, test period when the key is put to the ON position the ECM is done.

Swap the ASD relay first. Cheap and fast.
