Leaking Shraeder Port
#1
![Question](https://dodgeforum.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hey,
I have been dealing with my 00 Ram w/360 taking 5-10 sec of cranking to fire up after sitting over night/more than 20 min. The other night, for some reason, I popped the cap off the shraeder port (I think thats what its called...the test port on the fuel rail) and I could see it bubbling gas out kind of like a leaking valve stem. Whats the fix for this? Can I replace the valve thats in it? I tried to tighten it with a valve core removal tool, but Im afraid of stripping it out.
Please help! Thanks!

I agree. I did some webcrawling, but haven't come across replacements for fuel systems only A/C. Don't know if they are the same... Might try talking to some of your local parts houses. I can't imagine shops not running into this.
