I have a 99 ram 2500 v10 with a 5-speed manual transmission. When I start it up after it's sat for several hours, Usually overnight, it seems like it is bogging down and about to die. It starts just fine and never actually does die.
The bigger problem comes when I leave my house and get to the first stop sign and It acts as if it isn't getting any gas. Then when I have an opening to make a right turn into traffic I have to nearly floor it and ease off the clutch pedal just to get my truck rolling enough so I don't kill it. It's almost like I'm trying to start in 5th gear. After all that my truck runs just fine.
I'm so confused about this. The only consistency is what happens at the first stop sign. It doesn't even happen every time I start it up from cold.
Please help me with this.
