You said you changed the ecm module, is that the ecm or the ignition module. Do you have access to a scanner to check cranking rpm? That way you can test the new crank sensor and the wiring and the ignition module.

    How are you checking for spark? The easiest way to check spark on a quad 4 is to lay the ignition hat up on the wipers and run plug wires from the coil adapter towers to the plugs. Then you can check one at a time. Don't forget to run a jumper wire to the hat to ground it or it will shock you and quad 4's have enough voltage to kill you.

Why am I not getting spark to my coil pack?

Hello. It seems the computer (ECM) of your Dodge is at fault. The ignition circuit of the ECM is to blame. Good luck and keep me informed; if you want to.

There is no spark from coil to distrubuter cap Have replaced w/new distrubuter,cap rotor and coil

Check if there is any blown 15 or 20 amp fuses. Located in the engine compartment. There should be a Breaker box with fuses and relay switchs in it. Look for Ignition or Ing.
I know some cars don't have names for fuses on the breaker box cover like ford. If so look up in the internet. As in cirucit breaker digram - If fuses and relays are good then fine. Then If remeber correctly check the fuse box under the dash board or in the glove box. Some
Chrysler Products like my Dodge van has two fuse boxes. One under the dash or in the glove box, as well in the engine compartment. Also look for PCM or ECM fuse too, ECM means, Engine Control Modular It also controls engine spark and fuel injection as well as other things in your jeep. Its fuses for that is 7.5 amps with 5.6 volts. If these of good. Then replace the coil and crank sencor or have it tested at Autozone. A bad crank sencor most defintly would make your car to not have spark. It works with the movement of the engine with little windows on your crank shaft with the front crank shaft pully or in the back of the engine inside the bellhousing of the transmission. Most likely on the side of it. Its tell the onboard computer were to fire spark with fuel injection. Without it the computer dont where to spark the #1 or #2 or #3 pistions for that one, its 6 cyilders. Hope this helped, wish you well.

Code 300

These have a lot of problems with the ignition coils. In darkness look at the coils for any signs of stray spark. If stray spark is present the coils need to be replaced. Note- Use extreme caution around moving engine parts! Do not attempt this if you cannot do so safely.

Give me an update and we'll continue as necessary.
