  • scribble_00 Mar 06, 2009

    I have 2000 Dodge Ram Diesel Cummins engine.....i put the key in the ignition, turn it, hear the pump go on...but the engine will not crank!..battery is in great shape and FULLY charged...lights work and electrical works fine....when i turn the key, there is a light click where the fuse box is, a blue chip or fuse just clicks one when i turn the ignition. I tried starting the car with a screw driver touch both poles on the starter and the engine turns...so between the ignition on the wheel and the starter is where my problem is???...or somewhere in the computer??...any help or ideas?

    Can't pinpoint codes at this time, but think P0251 is fuel injection pump related. Have you tried starting it with WD-40 sprayed in throttle body opening just to test if it will fire & run briefly?

    I have a 2003 dodge ram 2500 5.9 diesel. It cranks fine but will not start. It will start with using starting fluid and does idle and run good, but just does not want to start on it's own.

Dodge ram 2500

If the engine light remains on constantly then there is a code set telling you what the problem is. I suggest you find a mechanic who can read the code telling you the problem. It may not be noticeable to you but may cut your mileage or may be harming other sensors or parts.
