ok i bought this 2000 dodge cummins about a month and it started just fine and now when i get in it and try to start it all is does is turn over and turn over untill i stop and do it again and then starts right up. What do yall thank?

 

check your fuel pump. try turning your ignition on, and bumping the starter, let the lift pump cycle for a few seconds, and then try starting it. could be an air leak in your fuel lines?

 

Try parking it with the nose of the truck downhill. Best way to diagnose an air leak. If it starts right up with no cranking after a few hours of the nose facing down then all you gotta do is find where the air is seeping in. If the nose of the truck is facing uphill and there is an air leak into the fuel lines/injector seals/banjo bolts, all the fuel left in the motor will drain to the tank and it will crank for a while because of o leftover fuel. bumping the key and letting the fuel pump run will prime the motor and re-introduce fuel so itll start easier. Thats the reason you have to stop, wait, and recrank to start it. You are definately not alone on this one. Good luck

 

hey thanks man. ill give it a go

 

another thought- when you 1st turn the key on, let everything cycle.. the wait to start light will go out then try to crank it up.

 

Bildozer, fill out your signature. Is there anything done to this truck upgarde wise?

 

No i havent done anything to it yet. It is completly stock. i did bleed my vp and it started right up but now its doing the same thing after i drive it for awhile.

 

Sounds you need to replace your return fuel valve on the VP44
