96 ram 5.9 crank no start issue

[4thgenconversions]

My 96 ram 5.9 does not run ive changed the crankshaft
sensor camshaft sensor (otherwise known as a pick up
sensor or whatever thats not what i know it as) distributor
cap intake manifold gaskets changed the oil oil filter checked
and repaired the fuel line (it is not gas) pressure is just fine
(however could it be the injectors?)
changed the ignition coil and added good gas as well as
treatment (intake manifold gaskets were replaced because of
water in the oil) (not the head gasket it is fixed) throttle body
does let gas just leak in when i pour gas into it and it does
not start with starting fluid either as i probably should have
mentioned already ( it only cranks ) its not the battery either
its a commercial truck battery being used which started the
truck just fine 3 times first time within very few seconds as
well as the other two tries but the fourth time after a few
hours after it started up i cranked it it roughishly started
and then made a whooshing sound after that it hasnt started
up it has gas and started up fine other than the fact that the
rpm gauge had a hard time leveling out to 1 going past
multiple times but not under 1 on the rpm gauge
I will admit i got the truck from a ******* in high school
who actually cut the center out of a mediumly expensive
while still custom rim just because he couldnt get one lugnut
off so i can see problems occuring with it like vacum lines
which were either not hooked up right or at all even which i
fixed the right and the left lines ive heard about a method as
well rhat you keep your foot fully on the gas while you try to
crank it for 20-30 seconds but it doesnt work so after
reading this and you have any ideas of what it could be
please let me know ive done everything i can to get my baby
back on the road but ive had no luck so please if you have
any idea please help me out
Sorry for how long it is just want to make sure you guys know everything so you can help

Does is kinda puff and fizzle out the throttle body when you quit cranking? Coil to cap wire good? Also these trucks do crazy **** when the battery isn't good or its just not making good connection.

Does it have spark at the spark plugs? The fact that you get nothing when you put gas in sounds like no spark.

 

[4thgenconversions]

Before i replaced the ignition coil it wasnt getting any spark and it started up 3 times the fourth time it started for a quick second but then made a whooshing sound when it shut off im not sure if it makes that sound now

 

[dapepper9]

Ohm test the coil real quick. 12-15k between tower and either pin and 1ohm between the 2 pins

I dont have a voltmeter but i did replace the ignition coil after getting no spark and it didnt start up still But its wires are getting power to it

If you're dumping gas and starting fluid into the throttle body and it's not starting then more than likely its a spark issue. Now if you've been dumping a ton of gas or starting fluid in then you now probably have fouled spark plugs. I'd pull those out, clean them and re-gap or replace. When you crank it over are you getting spark at the spark plug? Pick up an in-line spark tester at any auto parts store for a few bucks and start there. Make sure you have the firing order correct. Start with the very basics first and go from there. For ***** and giggles check ALL OF THE FUSES with a test light to make sure none are blown.

Ok i will but it will be a few days till i get paid

I was changing the sparkplugs and i noticed that under the hood a fuse was blown it was to the alternator i charge the battery if its even remotely low so i gotta ask could it be the problem or would the only problem itd cause just be making it go dead

 

[dapepper9]

Low voltage can cause weak spark and no start conditions

 

[4thgenconversions]

So to clarify its a yes that could be the reason?

 

[4thgenconversions]

Ok thank you ill finish with the plugs replace the fuse and get back to you appreciate it

 

[Rustycowl69]

what fuse are you talking about?

 

[4thgenconversions]

the alternator fuse its like a 140 watt fuse and is screwed down by two screws in the fuse box under the hood right by the posative and negative battery connection wires that run into the fuse box

 

[4thgenconversions]

I replaced the fuse hooked the battery back up and it blew on me immediatelu i believe thats whats wrong with it but what would cause it to blow
