Default long cranks

Hey all , my 07 Ram 5.7 has Ben having trouble starting right up , if it sits for like 30 mins it will crank longer than normal , If I cycle the key like 6 times it will not do it , I assume I'm losing prime pressure somewhere ? Any clue where to start on fixing this ?

Your fuel pump is going out.

Sounds like a fuel pump, to keep the cranking time down turn the key to the on position and wait a few seconds for the pump to catch up then try starting it. I've had to do this on other cars in the past.

Denso or Delphi are usually recommended brands. Either way, DO NOT buy reman.


I will find you and hit you if you do.
