I have a 97 dodge ram. It will crank fine but it wont start and I have already checked all the fuses and replaced the fuel pump.

Blackop555 is correct about checking for spark, but he should have been more adamant. You MUST check for both spark AND fuel. Both systems are very reliable. It's the trigger circuit that they have in common that gives the most trouble. Most do-it-yourselfers get lost when they blindly troubleshoot the first thing they find missing.

When a fuel pump goes out it can do so one of two ways either it can quit and stop working or it can fail intermittently causing the engine to stall or not start.
