I do know the new ignition parts we get today aren't what they used to be. The factory ignition module lasted a good many years. Now I'm on the third replacement in maybe 15000 miles or less. Will try the test light trick and report back when I get time. Yesterday this pickup did start when we bump started it. I left it run awhile, killed it and restarted it with no problem. Today it's back up to the same old trick. I did run a jumper wire to the coil from the battery but that didn't help.
Years ago when this thing was new it wouldn't start with the starter but bump started fine. Took it to the dealer under warranty and it started fine for them. They told me they couldn't find the problem if it is starting OK. They had an arrogant attitude about it. I took it home, put my meter on the coil, wiggled wires and in five minutes found a plug in the firewall was loose. The dealership sold Pontiac, Cadillac and Dodge. They acted like a Dodge customer like me was a second class customer. That dealer is long gone now, good riddance!
