First thing to check is the ASD relay and voltage at the coil.

Testimonial: "Relay was the big winner here guys thanks alot!"

    Chrysler products use a relay called an automatic shut down relay to power several things including the coil and PCM. You would check for battery voltage on the positive side of the coil which comes from that relay. If the coil has voltage, the next step would be to check the hall effect switch or stator in the distributor to see if it is sending a ground signal to the coil.

SOURCE: 98 dode ram wont crank no spark

May have no spark due to a bad crank sensor, which is responsible for spark when it gets a pulse through the cars' computer.

SOURCE: i have a 97 dodge caravan 3.3 i have fuel

You have just about replaced everything that would cause a no start situation. Without being able to do any further testing, the only other thing that could cause that is the timing belt, check that, it could be worn, stretched out, and slipping. Good luck.

SOURCE: I have a 2000 5.2 that won't start. Changed PU

Could be one of two things. If you changed all of this and still no spark it is either a ground problem or computer is bad.

4x4 v8 1998 dodge truck won't start

well if ur not getting spark and u changed all of the ignition components lets think about the computer in order for the ignition to work you have crankshaft position sensor that fires the fuel injectors and the spark change that and if still nothing then change the camshaft postion sensor that sensor tells the computer that the 1 piston has came all the way up and it tells the crankshaft sensor to do its thing

A test light connected across the coil primary leads should flash on + off when engine cranks(coil sparks when 12v turned OFF due to collapse of magnetic field).If you get pulsed 12 volts,and no spark from the coil,the coil is bad.If you don't get the pulsed 12 volts,trace back to find out why(the PCM turns the coil ground on and off,12 volts comes from switched IGN source)
