Asked by jdwag46544 Jan 31, 2012 at 07:39 PM about the Dodge RAM 1500

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Starts up after sitting a few hours then runs fine for about 3-5 miles then shuts down. When shutting down it kinda sputters alittle and backfires. Replaced all the spark plugs and rotar cap and coil. Just dropped the gas tank to check fuel filter and it was a little dirty But nothing major, Fuel pump works.

First thing I would check is pump pressure. Sounds like you are about to lose the fuel pump.

I have a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 I'm not sure what is going on but when its cold it runs fine for about 5 to 10 miles then it starts knocking and sounding like the motor is about to go and dies 2 Answers

After about 30-60 mins it starts back up and runs fine again for another 5-10 miles its not low on oil or low oil pressure. If anyone knows anything I would really appreciate it.
