I'm on a stock ECU with stock injectors and a stock MAF, you think the ECU is my problem? I might just change all the injectors and see what happens.

Any luck with your car Reese? I was going to take mine to my buddies shop yesterday but my starter decided it was a good time to take a **** on me. Sounded like a bird got in it and ended up getting chewed up!

I gotta head out in this 20* weather now and try to replace my starter. Oh so much fun.

I was so pissed bro, lol. The car is sittin on about 3'' of packed down snow and refuses to move. I can't even pop start the bitch because it doesn't start right up. We had to attempt pop starting it about 10 times yesterday with my buddies pick up truck. I hate my back bumper so some nice 20mph pushes eventually got it to run. I got a couple starters sitting around my basement that I could test out and see if they work. Any pointers?

^It got real cold in GA and they started throwing salt on the streets. I parked my car and started driving the RAM again. Hopefully it will warm up so I can check out those injectors this week.

Tell me about the cold. So I just got in from working on the car for about 2 hours and I achieved aboslutely nothing besides having a new starter. I'm heated as hell right now with the car.

I tried to start it and it wouldn't fire at all. I pull the coil wire off and look to see if there is any spark from the coil and nothing.

I tried what Jamie said and tried another Calum unit. The car still just kept cranking. I then threw in a working DE ecu just to see if I can get spark and that didn't work either.

So I swap out the coil and tried with no luck again. Did the same with the ignitor and nada.

Getting more and more pissed I decided to clean the grounds. I cleaned up the main chassis ground for the negative cable as well as where it meets the block. Still nothing.

I did check the plugs earlier in the process and they were soaked in fuel. Also found one of my O rings for the valve cover did not sit properly and filled up the spark plug valley.

I'm really out of ideas now. It just got too cold and dark out for me to be out in the parking lot to accomplish anything so I called it quits. Any suggestions/ideas would be appreciated.
