99 5.9 durango hard start
ive got a 99 durango 5.9l with 92k on it just recently it started to act up.
it starts hard i mean that it cranks for a long time before starting,aprox 10 to 15 sec. before starting ive done a tune up on it but didnt correct the problem,wondering if its the fuel filter? or someting else? any input would help

RE: 99 5.9 durango hard start
Could be fuel pump... perhaps the battery is starting to die... but I'd start with the fuel pump. "Test" it by turning the key to the on position, but not cranking the engine... then off, then on, then off, then on, then off... then start it... this process primes the fuel pump... if it starts up right away... I would think it's the fuel pump starting to go.

The fix is a PCM flash.... look under you hood for a sticker with an updated PCM part#. If you can't find one have the dealer Flash it. It might fix your problem

idle undershoot will cause a long crank time and lost idle air control steps will make it run rough after it does start
