Why will my 2000 dodge 1500 truck start and idle

    why will it start and idle one time and not idle the next. sometimes after driving awhile it will idle and sometimes it doesn't. once it starts to idle it is good the whole time I'm using it even if I shut it off and start it multiple times.

    It always starts just won't idle at times

    lots of variables but lets find out what is missing when the concern occurs so we can diagnose it correctly? when it will not start are your loosing spark or fuel or both?

Then the normal suspects are...
IAT (intake air temp) sensor
IAC (idle air control) motor
dirty/corroded connections

do you see any specific weather conditions before/during the idle concern like cold and/or rain?

I have a 2000 dodge ram 1500 after you drive it and shut it off it will not start until next day

Have your computer reflashed.This is a well known problem with these dodge rams and either reflashing or replacing the computer has been the fix.Try having it reflashed first.

Cmp And Ckp are your cam and crank sensors. Basically whats going on is one of those sensors are malfunctioning causing the system to adjust its resources. ie the pcm guesses how fast the cam or crank is turning and adjust timing as nessessary. Pull the crank sensor and inspect for damage. do the same for cam. You may need a book for there locations. Also using a test meter, check there output signals for correct voltage. This should point you in the right direction. Hope it helps.

2000 dodge 1500 van wont start then starts hard or not at all

Sounds like the IAC sensor is bad..Try this when it doesnt start instead of pumping it which wont do anything because its computer controlled hold the gas pedal to the floor.If it start its the idle air control located on the throttle plate..So rememeber the day it doesn't start hold gas pedal to floor and start it.If nothing we have different problems..Let me know and I will guide you through next steps....
