I have a 98 Ram 5.2L auto. 247,000k on it. I drove it to where it sits and it was running good when I shut it down. The only thing I had noticed was that it was a little had to start the last few mornings. It would whirl over for 3 to 5 seconds before it started. I attributed this to the amount of rain we have had lately.
I have replaced the cap and rotor as I figured they were getting worn and they were. Still no start.
This is what it is doing when I try to start it.
It whirls over and about every 3 seconds it will have a hiccup like the the timing is to far advanced. When I let off on the key it will fire very weakly for about 1/2 a second and sound like a sort of gasp which I think is out of the throttle body.
Anybody got any ideas? Shots in the dark? Things I can check?
