I have 97 dodge dakota sport 5.2 that has been headache trying to figure out the problem.The engine has starting problems, it will only start mostly when the engine is cold but has a slightly weak crank.But when the engine is hot it will try to start but has a very weak crank like the starter is under big load.then once it finally does start u have to give it gas for a minute or so and slowly let off the gas pedal so the rpm dont drop to fast and the engine dies.Once you get past the rpm thingy the truck runs fine for as long as u want to drive it.Then when you shut it off, you usually have to play the waiting game until it cools down. but every now and then it will start up when hot but very weak and draggy.I have changed starter and new battery and even had them tested first, but still same problem and no codes what so ever.I also done fuel pressure test with 48 psi...Any help would be greatly appreciated Thx

checks good::Battery,,,,Alt,,,,fuel pressure,,,,,starter....no codes,,,,reads 10 volt while cranking using multimeter on battery and 12.8 when not cranking
