Hello, I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Longhorn Laramie. In the last two to three weeks my truck is hard to start. I can use a little starting fluid and it will crank. Other times I turn the key and it starts right up. Once it’s running it drive normal. I thought it might be the fuel pump but it’s been my experience that when fuel pump goes out it’s normally finished and the vehicle want do anything. I took it to a local shop and they said it’s not the fuel pump but it’s fuel related. Then the shop told me that TIPM was sticking. The truck only has 66,000 miles on it. The truck never throws an engine code. Has anyone had anything similar happen to there ram? I have posted this thread before and was wondering if anyone has had any of the same issues. To me Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
