SOURCE: 1997 dodge dakota v6 engine wont start replaced

turn the key to the on position a see if you can here a buzzing sound around the fuel tank,if you don't hear a sound then. (be very careful while doing this) with the key off take a fuel line coming from the tank loose,make sure its pointed away from you and turn the key to the on position,see if any gas comes out,if not then your fuel pump is probably bad.

Check to make sure that the throttle body plates are opening and closing correctly, if not then use a spray carburator cleaner and clean the inside the throttle body. Also look for a vacuum leak around the map sensor. Hope this will help you.

SOURCE: MY truck is fuel injected what would make it so i have to hold down gas pedal to finally get it to start then die

Sounds like you have some injector problems or the fuel pressure regulator. If the check engine light is not on, I would look for something allowing extra fuel into the engine.

01 ford expedition. its hard to star all the time, i can run only if i hit the gas pedal if idont the engene is gonna die but once the idle kick that means its good

may be low fuel pressure at start up. Try this, turn key to ON and wait 5 seconds for fuel pump to stop humming. Then try starting. If it starts up faster, you have a bad check valve in the fuel pump, change it. It's in the fuel tank.

Slim chance it could be the fuel pressure regulator on the fuel rail with the injectors. very seldom fails.

Finally, your cold fast idle circuit is not wokring right. Clean passages.
