Hard to start when cold 5.9??
Greetings,I have a 96 Dodge b3500 maxi wagon with the 5.9 ever since I purchased my van the only way to start the van is to turn key over just enough to let pump run for about a minute or so then it will finally start I have just replaced new pump with new pressure regulator and new battery and new asd relay new plugs and cap and rotor button as well with new crankshaft position sensor along with new pickup sensor on the distributor and a new oil sending switch now that it's cold out side it takes about 5-15 minutes of pump running before it will finally start but even on warms days this van will only start if when you turn key over not enough to start it but to let everything come one and the check engine light will come on along with a clicking sound coming from the dash area and sometimes it will click like 5 or ten times all at once when it finally does click but once it does click with the check engine light the pump will finally shut off after it has primed and key has turned over then will finally start right up and run great but if you let it sit for hours the whole process of waiting for it to click will start over so any info will greatly help!! Thanks in advance!!

If you want to verify the ECM as the issue you'll need to warm it up. What I mean by that is for the first cold start of the day, warm the ECM up pretty good with a hairdryer then see if the engine starts easier and faster. If it does then the issue is definitely with the ECM.

By removing it you've introduced the connectors as possibly causing the issue due to a bad contact on one or more pins. I should've specified to take the dryer outside with an extension cord and heat it up in the van. But in either case you've narrowed it down to the ECM or the connectors.
