Truck died while driving and wont start. Help needed
I have a 91 dodge D350. Last week completed the auto to manual swap. Truck has been running good with no problems, until yesterday. I was driving and the truck just shut off, as soon as I stopped I started to smell burned wires, very light inside the truck, but very strong once i got out and opened the hood. I found one wire going from the positive terminal on the battery that goes to the main wire harness that was lightly melted. I replaced that wire and a couple others that were questionable. Truck will turn over, but will not start. My radio will not power on either now. I cracked my injectors open to insure I am still getting fuel, which I am, and even tried ether. Still not starting. All fuses are good, and previous owner has already removed fuseable links. I am needing any help possible to diagnose, as I am out of ideas. Thanks

Yeah I know that its mainly mechanical. I was thinking the fuel solenoid at first but fuel was still coming out the injectors. Wouldnt i not get fuel if it was bad? On top of my solenoid there are two wires coming off it instead of the one. And using a volt meter I found neither have volts to them. I am gonna trace them back and see where they connect and go from there.
