fuel problems

I have a 1997 dodge.Often after shutting the truck off it will not start. If I crack the injectors and bleed it it will start. Is there a backflow preventer . The truck runs perfect other than this.

Re:fuel problems

IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU COULD BE GETTING AIR IN YOUR LINES CHECKALL OF THE FUEL LINES FOR DAMAGE AND SEE IF THEY ARE TIGHT

Re:fuel problems

1st Gen is right. Be sure to pay close attention to the return line off of your pump. They are a known culprit for getting hair line cracks and getting brittle.

And remember that air will enter a line through a crack that is too small for fuel to leak out of.

Run your fingers along the rubber lines hidden behind the lift pump. Perhaps there will be some dampness.<br>Also, sometimes you cna see a bit of moisture on the starter.<br>george
