2001 Dodge ram 1500 4x4 w/ 5.9l engine.
I can drive or idle engine in driveway for same result.
Start truck and wait, engine cuts off after about 45 minutes. Check fuel pressure port and there is a lot of pressure, not sure how much but it has to be well over what it should be.
However, if I drain the rail (takes a minute not a couple seconds) and turn key or even try to restart there is NO fuel sent to fuel rail. No sound from fuel pump. If I try again in 10 minutes still no fuel.
Wait an hour (engine is cool) and start right up.
What would be telling the fuel pump not to pump? Even when just turning the key to on (not hitting the starter).
Thanks for looking.
(only drained the rail once, just to see if pump was running)
