Not starting

I can hear from the cab two bump sounds and a quiet whine that lasts about 3 secs which I'm sure is the pump priming and the filter is a non replaceable type in the fuel pump assembly. Thanks for the quick reply.

Sometimes the pressure behind the rail is enough to start and after it starts it runs completly fine no issues, but turn it of and at the end of the next prime cycle there may be no fuel in the line.

My truck will turn over but wont catch to start. Battery has power. I have half a tank of good gas. I've tried jump starting from car to car and from charger to car. Was running fine but when I stopped to ideal and let a friend out it stalled and then wouldn't start again after it had been running about 30 minutes. Trunk is king cab 1998 Dakota stick with a v8.

Electrical problem
1998 Dodge Dakota 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 130k miles

I recently installed a new automatic transmission in my 1998 dodge dakota.
The install took awhile, but other than that seemed to have gone well. When I tried to start it up, it wouldn't go. It only took me a minute to figure out that there was no spark.
I have checked and re-checked all visible wiring for proper connection and/or damage. All, as far as I can see, is well. I followed the trouble shouting procedure in the repair manual for no start in the electrical section:
-check for spark at plug
-check for spark at ignition coil wire
-check for voltage to ignition coil

This is where I think the problem may be. There is voltage at the ignition coil when the key is turned part way, but only for a second, then it drops to zero. Also, when the engine is being turned over, there is no voltage. The next step is to check the Automatic Shutdown Relay, I swapped it for another one and that didn't make a difference either.

The last two checks are:
-signal from the PCM
-and crank and camshaft positon sensors

Is it possible I have just missed a wire somewhere?
Or is it more likely that I have damaged a sensor during the install (but would that result in no voltage to the ignition coil?)

Any ideas?

Thanks a bunch,
Landon

Thanks. I will check the PCM harness.

I forgot to mention in my first post that the supposed cause of the transmission failure was a shorted out O2 sensor. I have replaced both O2 sensors. If there is a short in the O2 sensor wiring, and not the sensor itself, might this cause the problem I am having?

Thanks,
Landon

I have a 98 dodge dakota. Just rebuilt engine last year was running good. One day tried to start will turn over no fire. Gages do not read. Lights and indicators light up battery reads good. Tried obd can not connect to read. Any ideas?

So over the past year, I've been having problems with my truck not starting. I always make sure that my lights and radar detector are off when I get out. But weekly like clockwork, I have to open the hood, clean the positive connection on the battery and the cable as well (about a teaspoon worth of that bluish white corrosion builds up on it in that amount of time). A coworker said it could be the ground cable that's probably not secured all the way. I only have basic knowledge on vehicles, if it is that cable, which one is it and is it easy to fix?

I've replaced the battery a few times, so I don't think that's an issue here. Is that spray a common item to be found at autozone or any place like that?

Why will my truck not fire after sitting when it rains

My truck wont start it is not throwing any codes could it be pickup coil?
