I get in my 04 ram 1500 with a 5.7 HEMI and it starts right up 1st thing in the morning. Drive it fo a hour or so and when I go to start it up, it wants to start but takes a few try's before it starts running. If I run into the store it will stall and I have to go through the starting process again. My mechanic replaced the Vapor Canister Purge Solenoid, but it still acting up. Fuel pump is OK.
Anyone want to suggest something, I'm game. Thanks...

 

Hmmmmmm crank and or cam position sensor could be the culprit.
It was the cam sensor when mine started to do this.
Al.

 

Could be cam sensor, but I'm curious if when the mechanic replaced the canister if he followed the whole system and checked for leaks. The hose clamps Chrysler used in the 3rd gen trucks are really cheesy and are prone to fail. About a buck a piece to replace them with better ones from parts store. Also, the hose ends tend to split. Both would cause a hard starting issue and are easy/cheap fixes.

I have a map of the whole evap system in the DIY section...

 

Thanks guys. Changed the CAM sensor today, will check the hoses when its not raining. I will keep you posted on how things work out...

 

Starts up with no problem since I changed the Crankshaft Position Sensor. So far...

 

I had it starting up and running just fine. Now when I'm doing 50mph @ 1500 rpm, the engine feels like it's missing or breaking up. Open to suggestions. Thanks...

 

start tracing the vac canister lines, mine did that an had cracks galore
