Spark plugs fouling
RAM 1500 2017 Hemi 78000 miles
Approximately every 15 miles spark plugs foul and need to be replaced.
Engine misfire, stall 
Solved
RAM 1500 2015 Crewcab 125000 miles
Engine misfires, stalled while driving. Found blown ignition coil fuse, ignition coil for #5 cylinder inop. Replaced all spark plugs, ignition coil, wouldn't start. Tested and replaced PCM, truck ran great for 3 months. Some issues. Eventually, after getting the PCM and ignition coil replaced under warranty, and replacing all coils, I replaced the wire from the PCM to the # 5 coil and replaced the electrical clip to the coil. It's been 8 months, still running fine.

CommentNo Start no Crank
RAM 1500 2012 ST 260000 miles
A year ago it started to stall out on me while i was driving. I could throw it into N and she would start back up But then it started happening more often until 8 months ago that trick no longer works. Now i can get it to start up once in awhile but if i shut it off it wont start again. I have replaced the fuel pump twice, replaced the spark plugs, replaced the starter, replaced the ignition mode, bought a stupid chip for the TIPM because one so called repair shop said that was the problem (it wasnt). The last guy who came to look at it said he believes there might be a short in one of the wir… Read complete

CommentEngine Sometimes quits
RAM 1500 2001 4wd extended cab 200000 miles
Engine Sometimes quits but will restart after sitting a short while. Checked spark when this happened & no spark. Replaced Coil, didn't make any difference. Doesn't happen all the time. It does it randomly.

Check engine oil level! I had the same issue with Cherokee.
I've had the same issue for a while now. So I'm curious what the fix is too
My 2013 1500 will just die at idle when its cold. Will restart and run fine. No codes stored. My research says fuel pump. But why only when its cold???
Check your camshaft sensoror or crankshaft sensor. They tell it when to spark
CommentP0304 code rough idle
RAM 1500 2022 Bighorn 3.6l 108132 miles
Cylinder 4 misfire OBD code P0304. Rough idle poor fuel economy and runs like crap.
Would it be coil pack? Spark plug?

Had the same issue, turns out after doing a tune out that the cam shafts is bad resulting in the misfire. Turns out this is common in rams due to the fuel conservation (eco mode) while on the interstate where 4 cylinders shut down automatically to conserve fuel. Apparently over time, it wears the cams down and develops a misfire. Very expensive fix.
CommentNo spark when trying to start
RAM 1500 2002 5.9 140000 miles
When starting the truck it will crank but there is no spark and it won't start

Check to see of the fuel pump is operating. When starting the vehicle you should be able to hear the fuel pump kicking on. If the fuel pump is bad, it can cause a crank no start
CommentAcceleration
RAM 1500 2011 Hemi 5.7 SLT 200000 miles
Feels like it loses power when I accelerate over 40mph. Checked Catalytic Converter and spark plugs. No luck
