have a 99 ram 1500. 5.9 v8.

So it wont start. Had this problem before and weird thing is I let it sit for and hr the first time and she started right up!? Ok.

Now the second here she wont. It seems like its not getting fuel to engine no matter how many times you tinker and try to start it doesn't smell like its flooding out or getting and fuel. When I go through the start up process everything works like it should. Fuel pump you can hear runs nice and strong. But no start. It will keep turning and turning but no start. I'm new to the mopar sceen only had the truck for a solid yr and this is my first real issue with it.

 

Do you have a check engine light on? If so you need to check the codes. The codes will give a idea what the problem may be. Did you happen to check for a spark from the coil?

 

No check engine light.im about to head out and check for spark. Didnt he home from tow till late last night.

 

has spark, fuel is getting to the plugs... not sure what to do from here

 

Are the plugs wet? What brand/type plugs?

 

plugs were wet yes, bosch plugs

 

Platinum? If so, change 'em out for some good coppers. Our trucks don't always like the rare-earth plugs.

What does your temp gauge say? Does it stay at the bottom of the scale with the ignition in the run position?

Try stomping the gas pedal to the floor, and cranking the engine. See if it thinks about starting. (clear flood mode)

 

tried that prior to anything and its a no go. im doing a full tune up here shortly. including cam position sensor and cam sensor

 

You are getting spark, and fuel, no point changing those sensors.... especially not for aftermarket versions. They just don't work as well as the Mopar parts.

 

so far did distributor cap,rotor, cam position sensor and new wires and she fired right up. stays running consistently no rough idle. let it sit and run for about 10-15 min then test drove came back parked it let it sit for an hr fired right back up.
