Always a good quick check for engine light to illuminate key on engine off. Need to verify what is lost on a crank no start. Battery voltage while cranking, good spark, and good fuel pressure/volume.
Everything is fine as far as battery and spark and fuel brand new fuel pump just installed the problem is that when I do go to crank it it's like it's a continuous run trying to start but cant and I have to turn the key off and after a few hours or so of it sitting it will start. The car has done this to me 3 times now and the first 2 times was before the brand new fuel pump was put in but now just today I went to make a u turn and the car shut off and as of right now it still hasn't started it's just doing that continuous turn over without starting. I did put a little gas in the engine and it started up for a second but shut off again I checked all the fuses and they are all good I even switched my fuses around but nothing has changed..I don't know what else to do
Something is definitely missing when it won’t start. Most likely fuel or spark. If there is a control module issue it will not allow the fuel or ignition system to function, or maybe both. The tough part is catching what is lost when the no start occurs, then the path to correction can begin. I assume there are no codes or warning indicators illuminated? The starting system on this vehicle is equipped with an anti-grind feature. This is why it continues to crank and crank when it won’t start. Also, dodge is know for faulty tipm’s (totally integrated power module).
The engine light is the only indicator but when I bought the car it was on and it stays on
