Car Forum / Dodge / Dodge Trucks / December 2006Hesitation problem
Today I went out for a quick bite and on way home, my 98 Ram Diesel started to hesistate and then the engine light came on. When I hit the accelerator it acted like it wasn't get enough fuel so I just had to let it coast and luckily made it home. I recently replaced the fuel filter and had noticed at times that when I would be driving, I could intermittently tell it was hesitating for split second when I was at full speed and then it was fine. Today was the first time the engine light came on. Any suggestions on what might cause this? My guess is possibly the fuel pump, but not sure. >Today I went out for a quick bite and on way home, my 98 Ram Diesel >started to hesistate and then the engine light came on.

If the CE light is on then their is a trouble code in the computer. That will tell you where to start. beekeep > Today I went out for a quick bite and on way home, my 98 Ram Diesel > started to hesistate and then the engine light came on.

Lift pump probably, hopefully not the injector pump. Roy > Today I went out for a quick bite and on way home, my 98 Ram Diesel > started to hesistate and then the engine light came on.

Find wire at fuel CO solenoid, just aft of the inj pump. Follow the wire back towards the firewall looking for worn through insulation. If this wire shorts out on any grounded metal, solenoid will close shutting off fuel. can be intermittent due to vibration. Also might be the engine speed sensor going bad, causing the engine to go into limp home mode.

I pulled it up and noticed 2 deep indentations and used some electrical tape to hold it up off the nut and took it for a drive. Bingo, no issues. I will keep an eye on it. Thanks for the responses.

JMTCW 89 & 00 CTD's Plastic loom from WM will protect that wire. >Looks like it was the wire at the CO solenoid, it was pressed down on >the nut encasing the fuel filter.

JMTCW 89 & 00 CTD's Fule boost pump might be going south get a pressure check on it or u will take out the injector pump it dont take much to cost big bucks > Today I went out for a quick bite and on way home, my 98 Ram Diesel > started to hesistate and then the engine light came on.
