Dodge Repair: 2000 Dodge Dakota Starting, dodge dakota slt, dodge dakota
QuestionI have a 2000 Dodge Dakota SLT Extended 4x4. It has trouble starting. The starter turns the engine for a long time and it will eventually start. Once started it will run great. If I turn it off and then restart it right away it will start up quickly like I would expect. I just replaced the spark plugs and it did not solve or improve the problem. I am thinking fuel pump but I do not want to spend the money if it is not the problem. I do not have any check engine lights.
Answersounds like a fuel pump to me as well. This happens over night or sitting for say an hour correct?
U can test it next time u know its going to do it cycle the key 3 times with out starting it and it will fire right up for u.If u live in the Atlanta are I would help u out with this
