ok so i have been having issues with my gauges on my ram turning on and off while driving. didnt think much about it, until today i was at a drive through and the iddle started bouncing and then dropped to 6-800, i tried to press the gas and there was nothing, and it stalled. I tried to restart, and it started and then stalled.

So i got it towed home, checked plugs, no oil, checked oil - no water, check air filter nothing there, i sprayed a little starting fluid in the tb and if fired up and stalled. so this leads me to think its not getting gas. it has over a half tank. tried to check the codes with my reader and got an error signal- so i figured the ecu was bad, got a used one and i was wrong. still have the same problem

does anyone have any advise on what the next step would be. btw this is a 1999 ram 1500 with a 5.2- auto
thanks, joe

 

Could be the fule presure for sure. Get that checked out.

Also have you had you catylic converter replaced? Those symptoms could be from a clogged cat alot!

 

yes the cat was changed, so was the injectors and fuel rails, when i turn the key on i dont hear the fuel pump, is there a way to jump it so i can see if it is bad. also how do i check the fuel pressure.
thanks, joe
