Hello, before doing any parts replacement, it's so urgent to figure out what is lacking. Is there fuel delivery to the engine? At the proper pressure? Is there ignition spark? Is the proper amount of air (or none at all if that's what's needed) coming into the engine when trying to start it? Are emissions controls components working properly -- like, an EGR valve or EGR passages that are completely plugged or closed? Is the engine timing correct? Is engine cylinder compression adequate? Are there anti-theft components involved preventing starting? Is there any issue with power to the engine control module? Are all fuses good and intact -- especially in the box under the hood? Are there any diagnostic trouble codes present indicating a failure has been noted? There's no mysterious activity going on here. It's all black and white -- just requires slowing down and doing your due diligence. www.repairpal.com/repair-shops

Yes on spark and fuel. And compression. Yes i check the egr and everything with it. Air im sure cause i have all the air components remove. Im not sure how to check timing on the hemi. I was going to start removing the timing cover tomorrow. I tested all the fuse and tested the tipm. From what i heard about the anti theft it would stop spark or fuel. I change the crank sensor and cam sensor. And now I'm getting those 2 codes popping up. Before i bought the truck someone else put a bunch of led lights on the truck to and something else i will have to look. I could go over the basic one more time. But I'm going to remove the timing tomorrow. And then if i have to remove my Vavle cover and possible heads after that. To check all my Vavles and stuff. When i check compression today i removed my new spark plug it was a little wet. Is that a sign of something. And when i do try to start it i get a little back fire every few times.
