You say it cranks hard. Is this slow cranking speed like a battery going bad? Or a long cranking time. Most of the long cranking time first start of the morning problems I've seen is the fuel pump regulator not holding pressure in the rail and allows the fuel rail and lines to basically empty out over time. This means when you go key on you do not get the fuel spray to allow a fast engine start.

Mine started the same problem about 9 months ago. I have noticed that when it doesn't want to start, I release the key (back to "ON") and then try again and it fires right up.
Based on J-BODYs post, I have turned the key to the "ON" position for about 2 seconds (to allow the fuel rails to pressurize), back to "OFF" and then try to start it and it fires right up. I have to agree that it has something to do with the pump regulator. I believe that it is in the tank with the pump. Is this correct? Also, can you get just a regulator or do you have to buy a whole new pump, or is it a part of the fuel filter assembly? ------------------ '96 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT CC 360 4X4 '68 Charger 383-4 [This message has been edited by ehostler (edited February 09, 2000).] |
