Starting issues

[jeepND83]

I have a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7L. I am having issues getting the pickup to start. It will crank over well but will not fire on the first attempt. After 3-4 tries it will eventually start up. I have done a fuel system pressure test and it tested ok at about 62 psi and held pressure for hours after. I convinced myself that it was probably an intermittent issue with the fuel pump, so I replaced it. That did not fix my issue. Has anyone encountered a similar issue? Any advice would be appreciated.

TiPM fuel relay is known for issues just like that.. it will look like a failed fuel pump

When you first get into your truck each time before you try to start listen to hear if fuel pump turns on. If it turns out to be the timp Don't buy a new one you can fix it for $10 with a new relay just solder it in.
