Sounds like for starters. .. clogged air filter or catalytic converter? Coil wire?

dapepper9 · Jul 24, 2016

Possible you have a mostly dead coil. 11-15kohms between tower and a pin

Sounds like the cat to me.

The truck rolls over fine starter is in good shape it just won't run at all won't even idle only way it'll even start is if u hold it 2 the floor then it starts for about 2sec.... And immediately dies

hughesevan25 · Jul 24, 2016

There's no cat on it there hasn't been 1 for 4yrs + now

Sounds like a fuel filter issue.

Doing a little research points me to the only filter we have is a sock on the end of the fuel pump??? how can that be?

Gr8bawana · Jul 25, 2016

Pour an ounce or so of fuel down the throttle body and see if it starts and runs for a few seconds. That's how we narrowed down a no start condition one time on my 97. That and no sound from the fuel pump when the key was turned.
Fortunately we were correct because it was a 100 mile round trip into town from where we were camped while hunting.
It's no fun dropping a fuel tank in the mountains for sure.

Perfect spark...plenty of cranking power.... 1 of 2 things: fuel or compression.

Now, holding it to the floor and cranking puts it in what is known as clear flood mode. Clear flood is what it sounds like- it clears a flood condition. Stops fuel from flowing into the cylinders. Considering that's when it starts, I'm thinking you're running way too rich.

No cat will run a tad rich

Doubt it's a fuel filter issue as he already replaced the whole assembly. Yes the only filter is the sock type on the pump pickup tube. Not a big deal, rare that it ever causes an issue.

And please, don't post the exact same **** in 3 threads, especially if one has had people attempting to help. It clutters up the forum with fodder making it harder to find threads with useful information. An admin can delete the other 2

Seems like it would be best to rule out the simplest thing first so my suggestion would rule out one of your two guesses.

joepizuro · Jul 26, 2016

Maybe a bad injector dumping fuel?? Have you done a fuel pressure check

dapepper9 · Jul 27, 2016

I would check fuel pressure, compression test, and ohm out all your injectors. If one is just pouring liquid fuel it can hydro lock your engine and kill it

hughesevan25 · Jul 27, 2016

Yes it only has filter in tank there's no inline fuel filter on the 99 Ram 1500
