Gonna have to do a compression test next, also it wouldn't hurt to do a cylinder leak down test. Let me know if you need help with any of these tests.
Compression pressures;

1.8l 4cylinder 90+PSI min 176PSI MAX
2.l 4cylinder 88PSI min 150MAX
2.3l VR6 95psi min 190 MAX

Will crank and run fine when engine is cold go for drive come back wont start, new battery1 will turn over just like no fire is getting through1

could be a number of possible faults.1/crank sensor not working when hot,trace this and pour cold water on it(dont do this if it is not by crank pulley as water isnt good for modules etc) and retry.2/sparkplugs worn,but usually they would fault more on cold start.3/fuel pump cuts out when run,try wacking tank from underneath and retry.though I would concentrate on nil spark caused by a faulty ignition module or crank sensor.
Next time it fails to start.pull off a sparkplug lead,make a quick test plug with an old(but working)sparkplug.pull the side wire away from the center electrode 5mm and insert into plug lead.earth ground the plug on its thread against metal on the engine.crank and check for spark visually,don't be tempted to hold the plug while cranking.if nil spark we will have to test further which is faulty sensor.if it sparks ok we will need to test for fuel.
testing for fuel is easy.
when it fails,unclip air filter housing,while engine is being cranked,spray an aerosol based carburettor cleaner into air duct to engine,it should start and run while spraying and stop when you stop spraying if fuel delivery is the fault.fuel pump will then need testing/replacing.
be careful not to spray onto ignition or any areas of spark

Wont start.

If it will turn over check to see if its fuel or fire. To check for fuel, spray quick start for a few seconds into intake. If it starts and stops. its fuel. Change fuel filter and check fuel pump. If it does not start its fire, Could be distributor cap, rotor, coil, spark plug wires or spark plugs. If it does not turn over it could be battery or starter. Check battrey connections, ground strap from motor to body and ground wire from battery to motor and body.

1999 Dodge Ram 2500 P/U 5.9L Gas V8 Standard cab Auto transmission 4x4 @ 38K miles. Started and ran January 10,2010 but will not start anymore. Tried Starting fluid down the throat of the carb - nothing....

This could be a number of things...
Crank sensor, cam sensor, coil, PCM, spark control module, ect.
Start with the sparkplugs, make sure they are firing if not work your way back from there spark pligs, wires, coil, control module, cank and cam sensors, PCM this is what i would do if this rolled into my shop.

Engine will turn over but won't fire (87 v 6 engine)

check your spark plugs. on older machines, overtime are neglected and are rarely changed.
Also, if your sparkplugs arent the issue, check the Gas Line. a common problem with this is your gas lines may incur crystalization inside and hence looks like a Cancerous Lung. Filling up with more and more only is harder on your engine.
Hope that Helped! -Jordon :)
