Well, here it is. I have been doing alot of work on the buggy including welding. I recently left the key in the run position for a week while working on it. The batteries still have plenty of charge, but it will not start. I have spark but no power to the fuel pump or fuel pressure. Fuel pump is good. I am thinking that from welding and not disconnecting the battery and having the key in the run position that I have fried the computer . The relay and fuse for the fuel pump are fine. Can I have the computer tested? I have a computer for the same year of truck, but it is for a 318 5 speed and my truck is a 360 auto. The truck is a 1994 dodge ram. Anybody have any knowledge on these trucks? Thanks, scott.

Like Mike said , check and re-check all fuses and relays and then I would put that 318 ECM in it and see if your pump works , it might run that 360 and it might not , but my guess is that it will at least communicate with the pump. Also disconnect the battery for a while and then reconnect and see what you get . Sounds almost like it went into a safety mode to save the pump and injecters?????? just guessing ..... it is a DODGE and well

Just hoping now that the computer is the problem. I ordered a computer for the motor that has capability to be custom tuned so now I can get more hp out of the mods done on the 360. Just trying to think on the bright side. Wife says I broke it on purpose and commented that more HP = more breakage and I reassured her that breakage would be minimal ;) .sigpic

weld
The first thing to know is to never have your ground clamp any more than about a foot away from the weld zone ! ! ! ! ! Your current passage is only
between these two points. If you open up this distance the current can pass through anything in its path. I've known people to ground to the front and weld at the rear of a vehicle...again...anything in its path.....Nowa
