Well, cam sensor did not fix the old dodge truck. It's so weird cause all of the testing I've done points to that sensor, not that I'm well rehearsed at any of this. If I hotwire the coil, it runs.
Knocked the garden in the head today. No big job. Very little rain today.

1. Check for 8-9.5 volts on the Orange wire at the distributor pick-up connector.

2. If 8-9.5 volts is present on the Orange wire, unplug the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) sensor.

3. Check the Violet/White wire for 5 volts.

4. If the 5-volts reference is OK now, replace the MAP sensor.

5. If still no 5 volts, snip the Violet/White wire near the PCM at pin 6.

6. Check for 5 volts on the snipped wire out of the PCM.

7. If still no 5 volts, check the power supplies at the PCM on the Red wire at pin 3 and the Dark Blue wire at pin 9.

8. If the power supplies are OK, the PCM is faulty.

I got all of those voltage references earlier. All seemed within spec. Would you re-read your post Biff cause it kinda don't make sense to me as far as the 5 volt reference. You mention map sensor earlier. Dodge is kinda tricky with that one. Starting to look like a parts truck again LOL. I REALLY appreciate the help.

Okay I get the 5 volt thing now that I re read it. I'LL try that tommorow

You would think the PCM is okay if it's kicking out codes.
 
Sorry bp , I just copied it from identafix , I would still lean to the ASD relay,because it runs when you jump the coil . Let me know tomorrow

At the coil, the Green/Black wire provides the power from the ASD Relay and the Black/Grey wire goes to the Coil Driver circuit at the Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

ASD is working. I get a quick little light on the test light on the blue with black tracer when I cycle the ignition. I get continuity from there to the coil. About 30 ohms on the meter. I don't get the quick little light at the coil. Nothing when I crank at the ASD blue / black. Seems like the new pick-up in the dizzy is bad. I'll have to dig deeper into the MAP sensor. Thanks again.

I have been fooled with my meter I now use an old headlight bulb to see if the circuit can carry voltage
