1993 Dodge Power Ram 50 Questions & Answers
How do i check my break pads on a '93 dodge ram
- jack up car
- place a stand under car
- remove tire ( have a friens stand on breaks )
- now remove caliper usually 2 bolts on rear of caliper
- break pads normally are 3/4 - 1 inch thick new
ok now if you are un sure at anny point in the directions or locating bolts (STOP) go no further
replace tire tighten nuts up and go to a mechanic
it might cost a bit but the alternative is a posability and your life or the life of a family of four is worth more than a few bucks
1991 Dodge Ram 50 2.4 fuel pump pumps while cranking but not in ignition 1 position. Changed fuel relay. Jumper wire gets it going but believe that there's no spark either?
This is entirely normal, a fuel pump will run only for a few seconds so that it is primed. If it ran continuously without the engine running pressure would build up inside it and would probably cause damage. After if has run for a few seconds after the jey is first turned it will , basically, switch off and wait for a signal from the sensor, communicating that the engine is cranking at whick point it resumes pumping in order for the engine to start.
Remember, the spark and fuel must coincide in the combustion chamber in order for there to be ignition, if you have no spark that may be the issue.
You can check whether fuel is getting to the plugs by cranking over repeatedly and quigkly removing a plug. If the pump is supplying fuel the end of the plug may have some fuel at the tip or may smell of petrol/gas.
You have to find out why fuel and spark are not coinciding essentially, in the combustion chamber.
GOOD LUCK
Good morning, thank you for the help with the
sounds like you are losing pressure could be the exhaust or the piston rings or the head manifold leaking. if you have the engine pressure tested should tell you witch is the problem rings is mostly the problem on a work hourse engine. .
Cranks but wont start
OMG!...so many, many things to start with!!...do the basics 1st...does battery turn over engine as fast as it should?...is it getting gas? is it getting spark?..pull a plug to c it itz wet with gas...if it is then you have an ignition prob (no fire to plugz) chek coil...

1989 dodge ram 50 turns over but won't start. has spark. is getting fuel.
Sounds like you covered everything you did. I would pull the dist. cap back off. Take a good look at your rotor. Does it screw down or push down on. If it has screws that hold it down, take it off and make sure that it isn't 180 degree out. some of the older ones will fit either way but it wont' sit just right. Let me know how you make out.
Hello, I got the silent shaft, timed with the cam,
The only way to tell if you have a ring or valve problem is to do the compression test as it the best place to start . Once you have eliminated the compression from the equation then you can concentrate on why the cylinder is getting more fuel than the others. I would be checking for vacuum leaks for the rough running as an incorrect fuel / air ratio will cause missing. We cannot fix everything but we endeavour to point you in the right direction so that you can fix it.
