1999 Dodge RAM 1500 would not start

Apr 26, 2005 3 Replies

About 55,000 miles. 5.9 liter engine.



I have started having problems recently. Sometimes, it would crank, but would not start. Then, sometimes, if I "reboot" it by disconnecting battery for a minute, then it starts. Also, recently I put it in reverse, then in forward again, and the engine stalled.



This morning I could not start it altogether, although I had relatively little time.



I own a code reader and a repair manual and would like to try to figure it out myself.



What would be a sensible problem solving approach here?

Move out of the truck and get a house, or at least a mobile home. Better yet stop crossposting to alt.HOME.repair

Yo Dude Why yo posting this on alt.home.repair? Do yo live in that piece of s*it Dodge? The next time yo post to this newsgroup I will send the gang to yo house or truck and yo mouth will be filled with all the gasoline in yo truck, and then yo will be shot and burned along with yo dodge.

It could be as simple as bad gas but who can say you give little info and it could be many things. Try alcohol in the gas first
