2000 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 Starts then dies after a minute.

2000 Dodge ram 1500 starts then dies after about a minute checked fuel pressure it is constant at 47 psi even when it dies so that rules out fuel pump. Does not warm up before it dies so the O2 sensor is still in open loop so that rules that out . When it starts it runs smooth and will rev up and stay intill the minute mark and then quits. im not sure if a bad primary coil would do this or not let me know what you think.

Have a 2000 Dodge ram with v6 engine that will not start, what can be wrong

Security light on/flashing. Check for spark at the plugs and check fuel pressure. With security, Dodges will start and die, three times, then nothing.

96 dodge ram sputters and dies whem you give it gas

you need to check fuel pressure with a pressure gauge to see if its within specs.it should be around 35psi and no lower then about 32psi.your problem sounds like a fuel pressure problem and the pump should be changed as well as the filter, but check to make sure the fuel filter is not plugged as this can also cause a pressure problem.

2000 ram 3500 deisel dies at 2000 rpm won't start

could be fuel elated, there are two fuel pumps, the high pressure pump to feed the injector system and the lift pump to get fuel from tank to the high pressure pump. Check fuel filter also and start there. The fuel pumps are expensive. What have you checked so far and eliminated?

2000 dodge ram 1500 replaced fuel pump but still bogging down when you get to 40mph no dash lights coming on has died twice when you come to a stop second time acted like it didnt want to start back up but...

You indicate the fuel pump was replaced, but did you replace the fuel filter? A clogged filter can restrict fuel flow to the point the engine literally starves for fuel and smothers out.

Also would be a very good idea to check fuel pump pressure at the intake manifold. Also might want to check fuel pressure regulator.

Good luck!

My 2005 dodge ram starts but lacks power then when i turn off and start again it just dies

Look for the fuel pump or fuel filter to cause the problem. The lacking power and the engine dieing after starting is caused from lack of correct fuel pressure. Hope this will help you.

Fuel pressure intermittently drops causing sputter and die.

check for 12v constant at your fuel pump if you are not getting that replace your relay.
if you are getting 12 volts at your fuel pump the fuel pump is possible to run tuel it gets warm then shut down to a lower rpm I would then replace the fuel pump
