Not yet! That is the only thing I haven't done. What about the pick up coil?

I did try a spark plug straight from the coil and got no spark!

No would that be in the cabin or in the engine fuse box?

If fuses are good and no check engine light it could be the coil or camshaft sensor just make sure the connections are tight and no sign of corrosion. That is just about everything

I have the same year dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 5.2 auto and replaced everything you guys are talking about and it still didnt fix the problem. So i replaced the ecm/pcm and that and that fixed the problem for about 4 mounths when it fried the ecm again.
