No start 2.7L ...Help!

Im wondering if some of you Dodge people could help me on a couple of troubleshooting steps? Ok, Ive started with the basics.....Inj. fuel pump, intake vacuum, etc. I have 12 volts at # 1 inj. w/ key on. 12 volts at the 20 amp TCM fuse, 12 volts at the 20 amp SSR fuse. Originally , I did not see voltage at the 20 amp Inj/coil fuse. I read in a forum where someone jumpered his battery voltage from the 20 amp TCM fuse to the 20 amp inj/coil fuse locations. I understand the Auto shutdown relay can influence this no voltage scenario at inj. or fuel locations. Which, by the way, Im a little confused with the "Ign/Run" & "Ign/Run/st fuse locations. Can someone advise on this? Also, I noticed the fans running at all times when disconnected from Temp sensor, A normally open switch I suppose? Anyway, here's the basic steps I took.
Removed oil pan and excavated stripped drain plug clean out oil pan of blackened oil and golden pearls. (brass, of course) went back with pan. added 3 qts. 30w, 1 qt. tranny and 1 qt. engine flush. Cranked up and idled about 30 or so min. then died. When running, the engine had a faint knocking noise made much more distinctive by adding a little throttle. Second attempt. Now with oil change...3 1/2 qt. Quaker State 5w-30 with slick-50. Added 1 qt. STP oil stabilizer (prefer lucas) Tried forever to get it to start. no go. Waited for engine to cool completely. Restarted the next day. This time unplugged the fans from coolant sensor. engine ran 2 hours without dieing. Finally shut motor off. would not restart. Still wont restart!

Any advise at this point would be terribly welcome

the knocking noise could be that your egr vavle could be faulty. or it may be a rod. as far as it not starting check the battery, ignition switch, ignition coil, voltage regulator, ect. you might want to draw up a scematic on the power flow.

hope this helps

The brass looks like fragments from the bearings and sounds like it has a bad rod or more bad rods.If this is the case,the crankshaft is junk right away.2.7s are known for eating up crankshafts and I have seen this,the 2.7 has a very weak bottom end anyway.
