    89 ram with issues

    Replaced the hall effect and it fired right up. Cleaned up the wiring a little bit more and it seems to be better. Still runs a bit rough but I'm happy its running.

    Now I dont have anything coming from the coil. Power is going to it and its brand new. Can't get any spark out now. Totally lost now.

    Okay. I cleaned the contacts on the cap because they had a little bit of corrosion on them and the rotor looked brand new. But anything is possible.

    Yes put a plug in the coil wire and it threw some pretty good fire.

    The fuel pump kicks on and back off. The throttle kicker is also working like it should I believe. It makes noise when the key first turns on and then does it again when shut off. So now I believe its a spark issue and it may be the pickup coil. Just gotta find out how to test it and how to...

    It didn't give any codes except the 55. Found all the relays and fixed a bunch of wires that looked like a rats nest. Got the fuel pump to work with the key and got power to the coil. Have power out of the coil but no spark from the distributor. Should this year truck have a reluctor in the...

    Thank you. I'll have to try this out to. I already know the wires to the coil need fixed. And I'm pretty sure that there are some relays missing from the inner fender. Just gotta start somewhere. I'll give an update after this weekend.

    That's what I was thinking too. I was told that the pickup coil could cause this issue too. Guess its time to just tear into the wiring and chase

    Does this truck have a ballast resistor?

    89 ram with issues

    I'll have to look again when I get back home. But I dont think there's even one on the fender that looks like that. The wiring is all messed up and if that's missing it could explain a lot of the problems.

    Where is that relay located? This is the first one of these I've had. I'm just at a loss as to why it did it.

    Oh its the fuel pump. You dont hear noise under the hood. Its back at the tank. Something is really messed up with for sure.

    89 ram with issues

    It was making a funny noise when you turned off the key but we drained the battery trying to get it started. The noise only lasted a couple seconds. Just really lost as to why its doing this. I'd like to override the box and see if it will start. What all does that box on the fender control? If...

    89 ram with issues

    Fuel pump doesn't kick on at all with the key. But hums with the key off. Not getting any spark from the coil at all. Can I put a toggle to it and give it power. Not sure if I've got a bad coil or not at this point. I know the pump is supposed to run until it builds pressure and then shut off...

    89 ram with issues

    Hello all. New guy here. Just picked up an 89 d150 4x4 last night to use as a farm beater. Truck started out running rough but was drivable then it just completely quit. Thought it was spark issues and its a lot more than that. I have power to the coil and fuel pump with the key shut off. As...
