Please advise. I have a 2004 ram hemi crew cab 4wd. Truck has a little over 100000 miles. The truck starts fine when engine is cold. After engine is at operating temperature, I have to hold accelerator down to start. I have recently replaced coils and plugs. A few minutes ago I tried a tps reset by turning the key to full on and off three times. After third turn, the engine fired up after cranking longer than usual. There was a smell of fuel after I turned the engine off. I replaced the EGR two or three years ago. I use oe Champion copper plugs. Have not replaced plug wires. Sometimes engine starts after being warmed up, times I have to step on accelerator. In the past, I have run Seafoam through the vacuum line and tank. Lots of smoke fills the air. Also the codes pulled in the past have been p0300 and p0305 which I know are multiple misfires and cylinder 5 misfire. Once in awhile the CEL comes on but goes off after a day. I use 87 octane fuel. Driving...I drive about ten minutes one way to work on the freeway between 55 and 60 mph. More city driving than freeway. I live in central Texas if that matters. Never replaced crank position sensor or cam sensor. Fuel injectors not replaced. I use full synthetic oil and Fram filter. I have a Chilton manual.
