2000 Dodge Ram Four Wheel Drive Automatic 156, 00 miles

2000 Dodge Ram Cummins 2500, 4 WD, Automatic. Turns over but won't start. Relays & Fuses okay. Shifting linkage okay. Replaced neutral safety switch. Fuel is delivered to the injectors. The only obvious issue is that the steering wheel does not lock when the key is removed. How is this fixed or is there something else causing the problem?

Cranks but No Start Condition:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it

Thanks for the offer to help. However, it's a "2000 Dodge Ram Cummins." Or all the spark plugs are missing =:->
