I am working on a 96 ram 1500 5.9L the vehicle is throwing a cyl.1 misfire and bank one sensor two lean codes, the truck sometimes will start and run fine for 2hrs or more, during this time you can turn off the ignition and restart the truck no problems but once it shuts off its all down hill checked injector pulse is fine, no fire, new fuel pump and sending unit, new coil, new wiring harness, nwe plugs and wires, about the only thing that has not been replaced is the PCM, CMP, CKP and ECU! Please Help?

Welcome, your saying, when it refuses to restart, no spark at the plugs? Did you check if spark will jump from coil wire to ground, If there is spark there and none at the plugs, check the cap and rotor. If no spark jump, check the primary circuits at the coil, dark green and orange wire is voltage, engine cranking, the other wire is a ground pulse. You can use a testlite between those two terminals, see if the lite pulses, cranking.
