Injectors or cross over tubes woud be my first guess. There is a lot of trouble shooting that needs done before validating that though.



It sounds like you are saying with a warm engine you get a no start condition, correct?

here is what I got 2006 Dodge Mega all stock 135136 mi. in the morning when I start the pickup the truck starts right up ,and then i drive it to town about ten miles or so shut the pickup off, run in to the store and go back to start the truck, it just cranks over and over for about 2 or 3 minutes then it starts. it seems to start up better when the fuel tank is on the full side and . or the engine is on the cold side . In Feb of this year took it to the dodge dealer and they ran it though some test and said 2 Injectors are bad so had them replaced @ $900 PER INJECTOR PLUS labor @ a total of $2200 it started up pretty good untell now.

Since 2 injectors already went south there is a good chance the others are also. A return flow test warm and cylinder contribution test at the dealer may tell you more.



Since there has been injector work done, re-torquing cross over tubes is a cheap easy place to start.



Do you run any additives. Would not hurt to start running a mix of Power Service and 2 stroke oil to see how it reacts. FCA could be sticky.



Manual or auto transmission? The manuals can be picky if the cam and crank sensor do not agree. Autos normally don't suffer this fate. There is a flash for long crank at the dealer.

yes I add a additive power service white bottle in the winter and go to the gray bottle in the summer,but never tried 2 stroke . the truck is an auto . i will have to make apt. at the dealer to see if re-torquing cross over tubes will fix it first. or is re-torquing is something a dealer have to do, or can I re- snug everything . thank you for the help so far . oh ps. two stroke oil- ash or ash less and how much do you use of the oil. thanks Don
