2001 Dodge Ram
5.9Ltr 198000 miles
Started my truck with remote starter this morning to leave out. I received a phone call after about 5 minutes shut off the truck. Roughly 2 hours later went out to start up the truck it would turn over but wouldn't start. I checked for spark through the coil got a yellow/blue spark. So I took off the air filter and sprayed fuel directly tried to start truck I tried remotely and with the key several times never started at times I thought it was going to start, got a bump a few times but it never did start. Checked fuses and swapped relays around. Not sure what do next. Pleased any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank You

All "crank, no start" conditions are approached in the same way. Every engine requires certain functions to be able to run. Some of these functions rely on specific components to work and some components are part of more than one function so it is important to see the whole picture to be able to conclude anything about what may have failed. Also, these functions can ONLY be tested during the failure. Any other time and they will simply test good because the problem isn't present at the moment.
If you approach this in any other way, you are merely guessing and that only serves to replace unnecessary parts and wastes money.
Every engine requires spark, fuel and compression to run. That's what we have to look for.
These are the basics that need to be tested and will give us the info required to isolate a cause.
1) Test for spark at the plug end of the wire using a spark tester. If none found, check for power supply on the + terminal of the coil with the key on.
2) Test for injector pulse using a small bulb called a noid light. If none found, check for power supply at one side of the injector with the key on.
3) Use a fuel pressure gauge to test for correct fuel pressure, also noticing if the pressure holds when key is shut off.
4) If all of these things check good, then you would need to do a complete compression test.
Once you have determined which of these functions has dropped out,
you will know which system is having the problem.

even if you have fuel, you may not have the correct pressure. you will need to find out the spec for your vehicle and then test for it.
