Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / May 200601 Dakota 3.9-How fast does yours start?
It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This normal? 55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start faster when cold than when warm. nope. mine fired right up unless I left it sitting for a couple weeks. After that it would also set a code for the O2 sensor. > It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This normal? > 55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start faster when > cold than when warm. Damn i dont know what to do now.It only does this when warm,when cold it fires right up,but let it sit after running and it takes 5 seconds,then a stop in cranking,then it fires right up instantly. Really bothers me for some reason. > nope. mine fired right up unless I left it sitting for a couple weeks. > After that it would also set a code for the O2 sensor. > >> It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This >> normal? 55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start >> faster when cold than when warm. Hi RH, I dont have a Dakota,but my Ram has the 3.9.Mine easly starts right up,hot or cold. Have you pulled the spark plugs?If you know how to read them,they can tell you alot about what and how your engine is runing. Have you had your fuel pressure checked?My oldest brother had a GM,that did the same thing.

I also have an '01 Dakota 3.9L with about 35K on it. It starts right up every time. The only time it was a bit hesitant was this past winter and a new battery seems to have taken care of it. It was never really that bad though. I always turn the key to "on" and wait a second or two before starting to let the pump run and it fires right up. Good luck. Gary B. Strange.When cold mine fires right up,when warm,parked and then restarted,it takes 5 seconds,sometimes after 5 it still wont start,i stop for a few seconds,hit it again and it fires right up.

Same here, barely bump the key and away she goes. the 3.9 is a great engine. Hmm.Strange.Anything i could look into regarding the delay? Changed plugs and wires already.Cleaned injectors. > Same here, barely bump the key and away she goes. the 3.9 is a great > engine. How long has it been since you changed the air filter? > It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This normal? > 55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start faster when > cold than when warm. >It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This normal? >55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start faster when >cold than when warm. I had the exact same problem on a 5.2L Dakota. There is a check valve in the gas tank that prevents gasoline from draining the fuel line when the engine is turned off. If the check valve goes bad then the fuel line drains into the tank while stopped and you have to crank for several seconds to let the fuel pump prime the line. I had the dealer fix it while it was in for service so I don't know how big of a job it is. But I'd get it fixed fast if I was you to prevent burning the starter up. Anyone know how easy this might be to fix? >>It takes sometime 4-5 seconds of cranking for my 3.9 to start.This normal? >>55k miles on it,just cleaned the IAC sensor.It seems to start faster when [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > to > prevent burning the starter up. |
