As the owner of a Dodge 318, it can be disappointing when You try to start the engine, but nothing happens. There are a few things that could cause this problem. First, You should check the ignition control module. This component may be faulty if Your motor is not receiving a spark. You should also take a look at the distributor cap, and the rotor. If everything appears on the up and up, You should then move on to the fuel system. If the ignition control module is at fault, it will need to be replaced. You can expect to pay between $80 and $243 for parts alone. If You choose to have it done by a mechanic, You can expect to pay another $60 to $250 for labor.

A Dodge 318 engine that cranks over unevenly or abnormally quickly is a key indication of the mechanical malfunction of the engine. To order to diagnose a mechanical failure, a compression scan will be done. If the engine is in good working order, the ignition mechanism should be checked for the spark when the engine is throttled.
