I’ve been having some issues with my 1999 Dodge Ram Van 5.2l 2500... brought it in to mechanics a few times with no fix. Hoping to fix it myself with your help. For the last few months it’s been intermittently stalling after startup. Turns over and runs for a second but then dies. Then I have to flood it to get it started and keep my foot on the gas and slooooowly take it off to keep it from dying. Now it’s gotten worse. Sometimes it will stall even after I’ve been driving it a bit when I come to a stop and take my foot off the gas. Now, today I started it and it started making a crackling/static type noise from the engine compartment all the while pulsating during idle (like I was applying the accelerator lightly every second but I wasn’t). It’s not throwing any codes. It’s crazy windy outside now but I plan to take the doghouse off and see if I can hear where the sound is coming from but wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions while I’m waiting for the wind to die down. Thanks for any help you might be able to provide!

The “static” sound on closer inspection is coming from the crankcase by the PCV valve... I changed the PCV valve but it’s still making the noise. Thoughts?

Check fuel pressure, take a vacuum reading. You'll need a good quality scan tool to go in and look at all the data for something out of spec. Quote The “static” sound on closer inspection is coming from the crankcase by the PCV valve.. That needs to be looked at closer. That could be a plugged oil pump pickup screen. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

IDK why it doesn't give you codes if not running properly that wouldn't say exactly what to do but be info to help. PCV? Things to verify are good or just do anyway. Any grommet used, usually to a valve cover and hose to the real intake manifold vacuum have to be good and check for swelling at the source end. A serious leak will throw everything else off. Basics as Hammer said there is a lot intake manifold's actual vacuum testing can tell you need to "T" into a port to watch it. Still thinking this engine is what was once called a 318 (CID) once did eat timing chains despite being a chain vs belt did get too much "lash" and jump a tooth is all it took would run like you described doesn't matter now if a nylon gear or not if it did? Sorry - that's seriously old basics on a workhorse engine block that took a lot to kill but you can!
