Hard Starting

I have an early 98 12 valve that does the same thing with the idle set at 750. If I turn up the idle it starts without the pedal. Does not bother me since it starts instantly.

If you read the starting instructions from Dodge on the '94-'98.0 12V trucks with the P-pump, they tell you to push the pedal in a little bit when starting them.

As the trucks get older and more miles on them the low idle throttle stop wears in and the idle slowly drops. I own a few P-pumped 12V trucks will not start without some throttle input.
