 Subject: 5.9L Dies Sometimes When Starting
IP: Logged
Message:
I have a 2000 Dakota with the 5.9 engine. One morning, about 3 weeks ago, when I started the truck it immediately started then died. I restarted it and it died again. The third time I feathered the pedal to keep it running and after about 30 seconds it ran fine. This has happened about 6 times in the past 3 weeks. I have had the truck in the shop 3 times and they can find no problem. Has anyone with this engine had this problem or know of someone who has? If so, what was the fix. Thanks for any help.

i have a 2001 dakota,a couple months ago i wreaked it in the rain it was in the shop for about 2 months mine did the same thing i didnt know what it was,it would start up like there was nothing at all wrong and then die and then i would pump the gas and after a couple secs or so it would be fine,u probably think this is crazy and it sounded like that to me but it was nothing other than the battery.i'm not saying thats what yours is but if u havent tried that then i would start with that

I had the same problem. Turned out to be a loose connection at the battery so it wasn't charging properly.

Battery woudl be my guess as well. Make sure youdon't have any electrical components that are draining your battery when the truck isn't running, and check the battery conections, and all ground wire conection under the hood.
