2000 dakota quad cab, 105000 miles, cranks but hard to start, had battery checked,new plugs and wires,when it starts, if you turn it off it starts up the next time just fine. could it be fuel pump related?

sounds like the check valve built in to the fuel pump is leaking or the injectors leaking down. either way try turning the key "on" and waiting for a few seconds before turning it to start. this will give the fuel pump time to pressurize the system. it should crank right up.

when it don't start pull a plug and look
wet its a spark problem
dry fuel problem
It may be as simple as the fuel pump relay in
the power dist box under hood
they have mechanical points that ware and carroad
try switching it with the starter or A/C relay
if this solves the prob just get 1 new 1
they are all the same 30 amp relays
turn key on off 3 or 4 times before cranking
see if this helps if so most likly fuel pump
