I cant seem to shake this annoying delayed starting iv been having, it went away and now it's back again even worse than it was. lemme break it down for those who dont remember, iv replaced the cap/rotor/plugs/wires/TPS/IAC/MAP my compression is good and my fuel pressure is good also, i have no check engine lights on and yes im sure my check engine light works.

I have no cat to be stopped up so i know it's not that, only thing i can think of is maybe it might be the coil but i really doubt it cause i'v got great spark. Im wondering if possibly i'v jumped time because it will spin over then kick off then spin over then kick off and finally will start after 3 or 4 trys, it will idle up to about 1500 when it first comes on then levels out around 500.

And im watching my RPM's drop about .5 % barely even noticeable and my wife says she doesnt notice anything nore does my buddy but i know my truck and i know when it's missing and i cant put my damn finger on it. So if you guys got any ideas other than the crap i listed and the common known issues we have with our truck that i'd already know about. I'd be very greatful for some input!

 

If your ram is missing, have your rerouted your wires per the TSB?
Clogged injector?
Reset your PCM?
Put the wires on in correct order? (not sayint your stupid, just grasping at straws. I did this at first though, mixed up two wires)

 

Yup wires are good, nothings touching. ECU has been reset 2 or 3 times and injector's have been cleaned by hand not with fuel additives

 

Does it do it if you cut the truck off and restart it while it is still at operating temp?
I'm thinking evap purge solenoid.

 

fuel pump?

 

hows the battery terminals?

 

Sheriff just hit it on the nose, if i cut it off and then try to start it she'll fire right up with the turn of the key. But if it's been shut off anything longer than a half an hour it's a fight to get her to pop on, as far as the battery it's a new battery and the terminals are spotless along with the connections in the main block in the fuse pannel.

Evap purge solenoid eh, whats it do and where is it iv heard it before but never replaced one.

dakotas ram posted a picture of his and it should be the same as yours. Take it off and blow through both ports, if it doesn't plug one way then the diaphragm inside it is most likely bad.
