Hard Starting

[lhend50]

I have a 96 Ram with 78,000 miles and it has become difficult to start if it sits for more than 24hrs. I changed the fuel return line last year, so I hope it is not that. It starts fine if the truck just sits overnight. Any suggestions.

My '95 did that when the fuel overflow valve spring broke. Its that banjo bolt on the right front side of the pump. Piers has/had them for 1/2 the price of Cummins.

What is is your warm idle speed. I have found that with a lower idle speed the truck seems to require more cranks to start.



Sound like return line. You say it's fine overnight, but not after 2 night. It's a fuel leak, IMO.
