1998.5 Dodge Ram diesel wait to start light won’t come on the first time I turn the key to start.

Asked by Jboym1 Sep 06, 2018 at 03:49 PM about the 1998 Dodge RAM 2500 ST Club Cab LB 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The first time I turn the key to start the wait to start light does not come on. And when I try to start truck it
won’t start. If I shut the key off and turn it back on the second time, the wait to start light comes on and the
truck starts right up. Anyone know why I had to try twice to start my truck?

I'm guessing your fuel pump is loading your system during the few seconds you are playing with the key. The pump runs about 20 seconds once it starts.

My Dodge diesel 6.7 was running good and when I came home from work, shut off and 2 hours later I went to start and the engine turns over, but will not start. I thought it was a fuel problem, so loosen injector and turned over and had fuel. I tried to run engine analyses and nothing. It appears there the electrical has shut down, but the engine still turns over. Are the fuel injectors electrically pulsed or by pressure form pump? The only thing that come up is check gauges. No engine light at all. 2 Answers
