Hi to anyone that can help me with my problem. I have a 2002 dodge ram 1500 4.7L v8 and i am having a hard start problem. after it sits for awhile it seems to crank for about 5 to 8 seconds before it will fire up and run, After it starts it runs fine. Also after the first hard start it won't do it agian unless the truck sits for longer than thirty min. I have already changed spark plugs, changed my cold air intake back to stock, put in a new fuel pump, replaced fuel pump relay, i have put a computer diagnosis on it but it gives no errors or check engine issues, i put a fuel pressure gauge on it and it holds good pressure and never looses pressure overnight. I am at a dead end and don't know what else to check if any one has any idea please help out thanks.

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the third generation Ram section,
FF

 

How many miles are on it to date?

 

Clean your fuel injectors.

 

the truck has 138k on it right now i will clean my injectors next thanks for the suggestion no mechanics in my town seem to have a clue so hopefully with someones advice we can figure out the problem

 

Did cleaning the injectors solve the problem? Or did you find another solution? My 2002 is having the same issue. 108k mile on it (yes, in 2022, lol)
