Ignition resistor 1990 Dodge D150
Asked by GuruV2SRT Sep 10, 2018 at 04:34 PM about the 1990 Dodge RAM 150
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
Engine cuts out, like no spark.
Intermittently. Then fires up after a few
minutes. I replaced the coil and the ignition
relay. I was told to replace the ceramic
condenser resistor, but there is not one on
the firewall. Did Mopar do away with this
design? There is a black box in the fender,
next to the battery.

So do I need to change out my ASD relay ? Where is the ASD relay located?
Maybe this will help. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/mopp-1110-ballast-resistor-guide- ballast-blast-off/
The ASD relay is located where? Also where are the crank/cam sensors? I have a Haynes manual for reference also.
Yes, there are two next to the Starter relay. My truck is a 1990 D150, 2wd, 318/5,2
I changed out two ASD relays. Had to modify the new ones a bit. Simple enough. The truck did not die once today. Most days it happens 2-3 times. Thank you very much for the advice. I wish I could buy you a fresh, cold beer! Joe-
I had no problems for three days, then it died on me yesterday. My gas gauge seems to bounce around a lot as if there is no foam stabilizer in the tank. Could this trigger the ASD relays? How do I find the crank/cam sensors?
I think my fuel gage is incorrect. When it died on me, it showed 1/4 tank. I added more fuel and it fired right up and drove me 50 miles home. No issues.
