introduction and a few questions
 

Hi all, I have a 1998 24 valve ram 2500 4x4 completely stock.
we have had a few problems lately and wondering if someone could give me some advice. I can do the work just not too familiar with diesels though.
1) first problem it has almost always been hard to start if you don't park it nose downhill. Was told there is a fuel line leak some where but cant seem to find it. Any ideas where?
2) this just started to happen started intermittent but is all the time now. Check engine light comes on and has no power, put it to the floor and struggles to get up to speed. Throws a p0236 p0237 p1693 p 1682 codes. Have 5 volts at map sensor and check for continunity but couldn't get any readings but also don't know if I was doing it correctly. Any help will be appreciated I am at a loss I have been getting a lot of mixed info from different references.:scare2::argh:. Thank you in advance Jack

Get rid Of the stock lift pump they're junk, get airdog/fass/raptor aftermarket lift pump. Your infection pump will love you and give you more fuel pressure
