03 ram 4.7 stalls when turning right
Hey wondering if anyone has had a similar problem. This started a couple days ago and is getting worse. My truck has been stalling out when I make aright hand turn mostly when getting onto the highway. at first rpm would just drop out but it wouldn't stall, then it would stall but would restart and today it stalled and wouldn't restart until I waited about 15 minutes and cranked it quite a few times. I'm thinking its a fuel problem, going to put a gauge on it tomorrow and keep driving around the block. Also after I drive a while and its up to temp it doesnt seem to do it, although I have warmed it up in the parking lot for a while before driving and it still did it. Truck has 50k miles on it, tune up at 40k, no MIL light, did a tps sweep and had no glitches. Just wondering if this is something common or if I'm on my own. Any help would be great, I'll keep everyone posted with what I come up with.
Installed a fuel gauge and drove on a sweeping right turn and the pressure dropped almost to 0. Got a fuel pump on the way but I've never heard of a fuel pump going bad like this, my gut is telling me its electrical but I visually inspected the wiring and found nothing wrong. Nobody has experienced anything like this?
Put the fuel pump in, no change that I can tell, couldnt see the pressure gauge cause its dark out but it lost power on a corner. Starting to think maybe the alarm/remote start may be something to look at. Checked all the wiring from the tank to the junction box and didnt see any signs of chaffing. Starting to pull my hair out since theres no way to duplicate the problem without the truck being driven.
Problem solved. For some reason dodge runs the ground for the fuel pump back to the rear lights then back up to the ground point in the left fender near the battery. I was only looking for breaks in from the gas tank forward. Finally looked back further and found that my spare tire was loose and hitting the wire loom where they routed it around the bed mount on the frame, when I pulled it apart the wire was holding together by a strand. Repaired and everything runs good.
and another point for me! har har har!
Glad you found the problem, I was about to post up about the second ground wire... Not sure why they run two grounds but they do.
Enjoy your truck now
oh and make sure you reroute that ground away from places it might get pinched
