Our 1996 Ram Van 2500 - 318 - 5.2 l just died suddenly.
Pulling out of the driveway - just boom, (it had been idling for maybe 2 minutes, totally normally), then just shut down like a switch was thrown.
I put it into park, it cranked just fine - no overt electrical outage, just cranked & cranked like it wasn't even thinking of starting.
So that's where we are now. :ugh
I'm just thankful it happened it my driveway, not on the side of the road many miles from home.
I did get the list of things to check:
1) Is there Spark or Fuel ?
2) Check: PCM ground or function, ASD relay (what does this do ?), fuel pump relay, ignition switch, pick up coil (same as engine coil ?) crank sensor, distributor cam.
Did I miss anything ? Appreciate help from anyone .....:secret2:
Best Regards, David / Ram Van Man
