My 99 Dakota 5.2 will not start. Fuel pump is working and have fuel pressure. No spark to plugs, backtracked and no spark from coil. Swapped in a new coil still no spark, checked connector into bottom of the coil got voltage for a second then none. Checked fuses underhood all look OK. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Yep I agree, the crankshaft sensor is the first thing I would replace which should fix it. Here is the location so you can swap it out. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes
