Go to: TEST 5.Р вЂќР’В¬ASE 2: You got NO spark from only one or several ignition coils. The cause of the misfire lies in some other component. This result lets you know that the ignition coils are good. Let's take a look at what your test results mean:Р вЂќР’В¬ASE 1: You got spark on all of the ignition coils.

You're gonna' get one of two results: spark or no spark.

Repeat the test for all of the remaining Coil-On-Plug ignition coils (if you're testing them all).

After noticing the result, which will be either spark or no spark, disconnect the spark tester and put the ignition coil back in place.

Have your helper crank the engine while you observe the spark tester.

Attach on end of a battery jump start cable to the HEI spark tester and the other end of this same battery jump start cable to a good Ground point or directly on the battery negative (-) terminal.

Attach the HEI spark tester to the coil-On-Plug ignition coil (as shown in the photos in the image viewer).

Remove the ignition coil by removing the two bolts that hold in place on the valve cover.

OK, to get this show on the road, I'll stop yakking and this is what you need to do: Buy the HEI spark tester, not an imitation or something similar.

I don't recommend using any other type of spark tester.

This method can ruin/fry the ignition coil and now you've got another problem on your hands.

Do not pull the ignition coil off of its spark plug, as the engine is running, to see/hear if it's sparking.

The result you may get from using a regular spark plug IS NOT trustworthy.

Do not use a regular spark plug instead of a dedicated spark tester.

Here are a couple of friendly reminders that'll help you to avoid wasting money and time (by not replacing a good part): This a pretty straight forward test, but one that has to be done with the HEI spark tester. Then fires that spark plug, and the next and so on in the firing sequence.You may already know which cylinder is the one misfiring (if you have read the diagnostic trouble codes in the PCM memory with a scan tool) or you may not know which ignition coil to test first, either way I suggest that you test all six for spark. The computer receives an input signal from the crankshaft position sensor (and camshaft position sensor on some engines) to determine which piston is coming up to top dead center on its compression stroke. On engines with distributorless ignition systems or coil-on-plug ignition systems, the firing order is controlled by the ignition module or engine computer. The correct firing order is very important because mixing up the spark plug wires may prevent the engine from starting, cause it to backfire and run very poorly if at all. The firing order for Jeep/Dodge RAM/Durango 3.7L V6 engines is 1-6-5-4-3-2. The firing order for 1987-2000 Dodge Dakota/RAM truck 3.9L V6 engines is 1-6-5-4-3-2. The firing order for 1999-2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Commander, Dodge Dakota, Durango & RAM 4.7L V8 engine is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The firing order for late model Chrysler 5.9L, 6.1L, 6.2L and 6.4L V8 Hemi engines is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2. The cylinders are numbered in a staggered sequence, with all the odd numbers on one side and the even numbers on the other side. On trucks with the 3.9L V6, #1 cylinder is the first cylinder at the front LEFT of the engine. On front-wheel drive cars and minivans with 2.7L and 3.5L V6 engines, the #1 cylinder is the first cylinder on the front RIGHT side of the engine.

On most Chrysler engines the #1 cylinder is the first cylinder at the front of the engine on the driver side (left side) of a rear-wheel drive car or truck.

Most Chrysler V8 distributors rotate in a clockwise direction, so the next plug wire in the cap would go to the next spark plug in the firing sequence for that engine. With the number one (#1) spark plug terminal in the distributor cap. When the piston is at top dead center (TDC) on the compression stroke, the rotor inside the distributor should be aligned Is determined by the routing of the spark plug wires from the distributor cap to the spark plugs in each cylinder. On engines with a distributor, the firing order The firing order of an engine is the sequence the spark plugs fire.
