Dodge Diesel Engine Problem

While driving the check engine light came on, and almost immediately the pickup died. Tried to start it and when key was held in the on position nothing happened. Once the key was released the truck would start to cough and sputter. Pressing on the accelerator had not effect what so ever on speeding or slowing the coughing and/or sputtering. Is this a fuel filter problem/fuel pump problem? Or?

It's a sensor crazy world, but i'm guessing your problem is caused by something more simple. Spark plug wires, or a partially clogged fuel filter. If that doesn't solve it, check the EGR, and check for vacuum leaks . Broken , cracked or loose vacuum lines.

Its a fuel issue. First be sure you have gas. If you do then your fuel pump has lost it's prime. You either have a leak in a fuel line someplace or a bad fuel pump.

Engine started and ran 2 seconds and turned off, after 5 tries it will not turn over.

First off, you will need both batteries connected for the amperage to be available to start a diesel. Secondly, when you turn the key, the vehicle will not crank over? Does it make any sound at all? DO the power door locks work with the key fob?

Driving along lights dimmed, instrument panel died, loss of power then engine cut out & wouldn't start. Starts with a jump but when i turn key to heat glow plug, instrument panel goes mad

I assume there's a problem with alternator. Check the grounding to engine, check continuity of a positive wire between alternator and battery. the energizing voltage should be checked as well. Might be the bad connection between battery and vehicle body grounding. Diesel cars are sensitive even in a little loss of connection and rust in the connection points.

My 95 3L Lebaron Dies when the car is stopped. It starts then dies immediately, after many cranks with lots a gas it will run. Only happens when cold.

I'd use a gage and check proper fuel pressure, key on engine off. My info says 48 psi.

96 Dodge Diesel, ignition switch

Inside engine compartment, look for injection pump, on side or top you will find an electrical connection, that connection comes from Your Key, it is an on and off electric valve, if You bring 12V power strait from the battery and clip it to that valve, go and try starting car, if car runs, after Your key or a Relay, my be defective, look for oil and coolant level, and Diesel Filer
