1997 Ram 5.9 Magnum has no spark at the coil from what I can tell. I'm not 100% sure how to test that though...
What I've done, in order:
Checked Fuses
Replaced Plugs
Replaced Rotor and Cap
Replaced Ignition Coil
Replaced Crack Shaft Sensor
Replaced Cam Pick Up under Rotor
Tried testing individual plugs using both ground contact testing and with a testing bulb with nothing. So tried to direct connect the output from the coil pack as well but nothing seems to be happening. I did the first 3 items before I realized the spark was not getting to the plugs.
I have debated changing out the ignition switch but the motor turns over when I turn it to the start position. Is this my next logical step or would I be barking up the wrong tree? I don't see anything "electrical" as part of the ignition switch. Is there any other idea of something to check/test?
