I replaced plugs, distributor cap and wires but no improvement. Always starts and runs good just takes longer than it should to start.When it's warm it starts like normal (within a half hour). If its a fuel pressure problem (need help on how to determine if it is), what does it require to fix it? Thank you, Jaytee HT User May 9, 2013, 12:27 PM Post #2 of 5 (1724 views) Re: 1996 Dodge Dakota V6 slow start when cold Sign In You need to hook up a fuel pressure gauge before starting the car and watch how fast it comes up to regulated pressure when you start cranking.

If it drops off like a rock, then you have a rest pressure issue. Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved. jaytee2013 New User May 15, 2013, 9:37 AM Post #4 of 5 (1634 views) Re: 1996 Dodge Dakota V6 slow start when cold Sign In I just got the pressure testing completed! Its 50, however, it fell like a rock ( in 2 seconds it was gone)! Since you suggest I have a "REST" pressure issue - what is the most likely cause? Here is something I dscovered - when I turn the key on, the pressure begins to build prior to starting.

You have to pinch off lines at various point while there is pressure on them until you find out what direction it's going. It could be going back through the pump, out a stuck injector or through a bad regulator.   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
