Re: 03 ram not starting

Check your fuel pressure. you might hear the fuel pump but it may not be putting out enough fuel pressure. also if the check valve in the fuel pump is bad it may not be holding fuel in the lines sometimes resulting in all the fuel in the lines running all the way back to the tank.

no fuel in the lines makes it hard to start till it has made its way to the fuel rail.
