starting hesitation video of my 2014 Sport

[Sir John]

A video of the startup hesitation I'm getting on the 1st startup of the day. You can hear right before the engine fires up. Doesn't do it the rest of the day....only when I have the initial start. The dealership "doesn't hear it" when I leave it there overnight. It doesn't sound right to me. What do you guys think?? Is this normal for a Ram?

my 14' sport with the push button start pretty much sounds the same when i start it

My 09 does the same thing on cold starts. I think its normal.

 

[mmwaggie]

can confirm mine does this as well. it's always calm before the storm.

 

[jmgak47]

Mine does the same and have heard others talk about it also.

If they don't fix it soon I am going to wire up a switch. Pin #16 is the power and where you would wire the switch inline.

 

[hemihustlin]

What is this switch going to do?

 

[jmgak47]

Turn off the power to the Trinity completely eliminating the battery drain.

 

[mmwaggie]

Wrong thread lol!!

 

[hemihustlin]

Ok lol i was wondering...

 

[BLUDREM]

My 14 express does the same.

What you see and hear is normal. The actual "delay" is less then a second.

[Sir John]

Thanks for the replies. I wasn't sure and yes, it is less than a second.

my 6.4 even does that a little..when I first bought it a cold start set off a code for the check engine light showing a misfire in cylinder 6 but a PCM flash fixed it..

 

[Ramzaq]

Yes, my 2009 will do it also. Probably just the system catching up to itself with the TIP start.

 

[Jmhm17]

mine does it too. but if I prime the fuel pump it wont do it, unless its really cold and its been sitting for a while.

My 2011 and 2013 did/do this. Only the first start in the morning. Otherwise fine...
