Bar Stow - 11 Aug 2005 15:10 GMT
I have a 2001 Ram 1500 with a 5.2L that was giving me some starting
problems, I felt it was fuel, so I did some basic checks such as
check for fuel rail pressure, there wasn't any, checked fuel pump
relay, it was good, so I call an have the truck towed to the dealer
for diagnosis. They said it was my fuel pump module, so I asked them
to replace it. The next day when I picked it up and in the process of
driving home (approx 3 miles) it stalls and dies. I call the dealer
and he sends a tow truck and we go back to the dealers for more
diagnosis. Two days later they tell me it's my PCM. Wow 80,000 miles
on my truck and the Fuel Pump and PCM happened to go out at the same
time. Coincidence or not? I feel not...

A little vasoline or KY jelly may be in order 'cause you're getting
screwed.
