I have a 1995 ram with a 5.9 and it cranks a while before it starts. I've tried turning the key on and off but that did not help.i've also changed the ASD relay,again no help. When the truck finally starts it sputters a little and then smoothes out. Any ideas?

Yes, Check the fuel pressure, could be a bad fuel pump. Sound fuel related. Also replace the fuel filter, could cause low fuel pressure.

My Dodge diesel 6.7 was running good and when I came home from work, shut off and 2 hours later I went to start and the engine turns over, but will not start. I thought it was a fuel problem, so loosen injector and turned over and had fuel. I tried to run engine analyses and nothing. It appears there the electrical has shut down, but the engine still turns over. Are the fuel injectors electrically pulsed or by pressure form pump? The only thing that come up is check gauges. No engine light at all. 2 Answers
