Message:
Hi all. I hvae been on vacation from college for a month now. Just returned home and my dodge wont start. My father had run it about a week or week and half ago and it was fine. But now its wont fire.
I start get the key in, crank it. The battery turns the motor over, all accessories work, but its like its not getting gas to fire off. Its a 1990 Dak V6 2wd. What should I do? PLEASE HELP!
Thanks
Joe E.

Check your plugs and wires! See if your getting voltage to them using a multimeter. Try that first. Check your fuses and relays and make sure they are good.

Usually you don't have to "prime the engine" on the fuelies like the old carburetors. Try this: before turning the key, press the gas pedal all the way to the floor ONCE, and release. Then try cranking the engine. If it doesn't start, you may have water from condensation due to sitting still in the bottom of the tank. Try some gas dryer, like STP gas treatment or injector cleaner in the tank.
