    Goes into overdrive and feels like I put on the brakes..

    I have a 2002 Ram1500, 5.9, 4wd, with a 46re transmission. I had to replace the entire overdrive section because it seized up and destroyed itself. Heaving a strange problem now that I haven't been able to solve. Transmission works fine until it goes into overdrive,,, then it feels like I hit...

    TPS constantly high

    I have replace the TPS twice, but still gives a high voltage error. So I tested all my TPS sensors and they all seem to work fine. So I test the wires with it disconnected, get the proper 5v and ground, but the middle connector reads 5v also. I left it disconnected, cleared the code, and...

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Yes ! It was the PCM. Got one from a parts yard, truck runs and charges fine, but gauges don't work. Not too worried about that right now.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    I'm near Charleston, West Virginia. Yes, I reset the PCM, and the 1389 comes back. Today I downloaded a wiring diagram and checked all the wiring to and from the PCM, and all checked out ok. I checked for 12volts at the injectors and it was present at power up and during crank. I also jumped...

    Yes it does. I did verify voltage at the connector and has the proper positive. I can also feel and hear the "click" from it.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    I also tried WD-40, Carb cleaner, PB Blaster.. and a couple other things and they all worked to get the engine started. Also just poured some gas into the throttle body and it worked just as well. Seems anything that the plugs will "flash" would probably work to get it started.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Spent most of the day working on this truck and I'm still at the same place as before. Here's a summery of the problem and what I have done.. It's a 2000 Ram with a 5.9, while driving it the engine light came on and it shifted down. Pulled over and shut it off then it wouldn't start. Problem...

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Had it scanned and got code P1389. I believe that is an ASD code, but have already replaced the ASD relay. Today I'm going to check for voltage at the ASD relay socket.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Still no luck. I replaced the crank sensor and still have the same symptoms. I do have another symptom that I just discovered.. I got the truck started using starting fluid and took it for a short drive, it stays in second gear all the time. I assume this is "limp in" mode.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Thanks for the information Wingnut. I checked for fuel pressure during engine crank and it has full pressure at the valve. Fuel pump is on during crank. It seems that the injectors are not firing during crank.

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Thanks for the info Dude. Should I check and adjust fuel sync? If it's out, could that cause it to not start without starting fluid then run fine?

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Please tell me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that the PCM takes input from the Cam Position Sensor, Crank Position Sensor, ASD, and the Oxygen Sensors to properly control the injectors. Three of these four I have already verified. The only one I didn't try is the Crank Sensor. I also...

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Checked fuel pressure. Yes, I checked the fuel pressure, it is running about 49 pounds while cranking or running. Discovered today that the battery is not charging and it has a stored error code of P1389. This points me toward the ASD relay or the CPS. I replaced both of these which made no...

    Won't start without Starting Fluid

    Dodge Wizards: I am a Dodge guy but have what I consider a strange issue.. I have a second generation 1500 with a 5.9, going down the road and it suddenly shifted down to "limp in" mode, then in a couple miles the battery meter went all the way down and the engine light came on. The truck was...
