2000 Dodge 1500 wont restart

Asked by GuruH6RJ7 Aug 06, 2019 at 02:48 PM about the 2000 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi everyone, my Dodge when cold will fire right up and runs smooth as silk. I turn it off and it wont start unless I have the gas pedal all the way to the floor and then it's very rough. It has a new battery and fuel pump just hoping someone on here has experienced something similar and found the fix.

It sounds like on the restart, it's running rich? On a cold engine it should run richer than a fully warmed up engine. Running rich on a hot engine isn't good. How long since a tune-up? Any applicable trouble codes? Use a gage and check proper fuel pressure then with the key off, see if pressure holds for a bit. If the pressure drops like a rock, you may have a fuel injector leaking? It's possible a sensor is telling the computer, the wrong engine temp. I usually think of the coolant temp sensor. Could be other issues?

Thank you for your response. It just had a tune up and it's not throwing any codes when I use the reader or the key procedure. I did noticed the temperature guage is not working so I'll switch that out tomorrow.
