1999 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 V8 won’t start
Sooo a couple weeks ago I went to start my truck and it started for about 15 seconds then died… figured maybe I was a dumb *** and didn’t start it right… tried again… started for another 15 second then died… then nothin… had no spark at ignition coil, replaced that… didn’t have very good spark on plugs-replaced plugs, wires, rotor and distributor cap… still only starting when startin fluid or fuel is put into manifold… replaced crankshaft sensor… same thing…. Didn’t have very good fuel pressure and the fuel nipple on the engine.. replaced fuel pump-now this bitch is squirting fuel…. Still not starting… relaxed fuel relay sensor… tried to start then nothin…. Idk where to go next & my little brother who lives 400 miles away is gettin annoyed with me…. He said get noid lights to check to see if my injectors are getting power? Anyone else have any ideas?? I no joke bought this truck end of June & didn’t even go thru half a tank of fuel before it did this… and I REALLY don’t wanna take it to a shop… damn thing is gonna be brand new by the time I’m done🤦🏼♀️
Yep, noid lights will tell you if the injectors are firing. You can rent/borrow them from your local parts store. (big chain stores have them available.) See if you are getting injector pulse. Since it fires for a few seconds on starting fluid/fuel, spark is not your problem.
