starting troubles.
hi guys,
i have a 1999 dodge 2500 5.9L 24 valve and i am having about a three second delay on the starting once i go to start my truck for the first time that day, then once driving my truck and it warms up i go to start it the second time and it takes about 5-6 seconds till it fires up. at first it was a really bad hesitation, about 10 seconds, but then thinking my batteries were going bad i replaced em and then it still di it so i went ahead and checked my fuel filter and it was BLACK. so i went ahead and replaced my filter and it fired up after about 2 seconds. so then noticing my fuel psi was low and once it fired up it would take a good 5-6 seconds for the fuel psi to reach 18psi at idle. so i went ahead and replaced my lift pump and now im psi is 20-22 at idle and once fired up its already 20 psi. anyways, i am still having trouble with what may be causing my truck to hesitate for a couple seconds before firing up. if it was my main IP had gone out it wouldnt fire up at all right? i was thinking maybe a bad injector, or two.
hey guys, so after the hesitating to start for two days i had gotten in my truck and as it had in the past two days, it hesitated to start for a couple seconds and fired up but after running for about 10-15 seconds it just shut off and now it wont start up. on my lunch break today i cracked injectors 1,3,and4. i couldnt get to two cuz my exhaust manifold and grid heater would have to come off and i didnt have time or 5&6. but after cranking it over the first time diesel bubbled out of 1 and 3, and then the second time crancking it over it came out of 1&3 a little, not bubbling out this time; and it came out of numberfour injector at a good rate. idk what may be causing the poblem so any help or advice any of you guys out their have would be awesome!
thanks,
Daniel
