- This is my 2003 dodge ram 1500 with a 5.7 hemi engine. I just bought 3 days ago and didnt know anything about it. Until i notice it had no gas at all. Changing the spark plugs makes a big difference. Performance and better gas mileage. Before replacing them. I was getting 10mpg. Now im getting 14.7mpg. Much better. And more power.
Man, I cant thank you enough for sharing this video. My son called me last night at midnight saying his Ram wouldn't start. He told me he had 1/8 of a tank of gas and his computer told him he still had 40 miles worth of gas. Today after work, I showed up with 5 gallons of gas and the truck started right up. I added a can of Seafoam to the 5 gallons and got the truck back to the house and did a hot soak with Seafoam spray. After that, we went and filled his tank. He has learned his lesson about running his truck so low on gas. THANKS AGAIN!
Soooooo, Your FIX for your Hemi not starting is..... Put gas in the tank. Fricking GENIUS.
i had a 03 ram 5.7 hemi....spark plugs suck on that thing! i do believe the gauges have small stepper motors that control the gauge needles. i replaced some on a 2005 Chevy cavalier once. years ago i worked at an AutoZone and a customer came in with an older Buick car. he had taken a taxi to the store, i got him his parts then i was off work, drove him to his car to help out, helped him replace some sensors but nothing helped the gas gauge said it was full i crawled under listened to the pump as be turned the key on. i tapped the tank it was bone dry! he walked across the street and bought a gas can and some gas. started right up. as my automotive instructors always told me K.I.S.S.
Keep It Simple Stupid! best advice i ever received
It is great when sometimes it ends up being something simple. Had a Dodge that the gauge was off too.
Good work Garcia I love rams
Just to let you know, a half of a quarter, is one eighths. Or half of 1/4 is 1/8, but you seem like you can clean an engine compartment nicely, very clean!
Wifeys truck did the same so changed the mass air flow sensor and the pcv valve … it worked for us and blue smoke stopped … if you gap just a tad bit extra better fuel economy and HP response was awesome
put a 180 degree thermostat in it .. best thing i ever did to mine. 345,000 original engine . 1 trans rebuild ..1 rear end. doenst burn a drop of oil
You can not check fuel by pushing the schrader valve on the fuel rail. Even if fuel came out does not mean you have pressure, you need a pressure tester. And that was a map sensor not a mass air flow. Good for you that you found the problem and it was an easy fix. You will need to get to the tank and replace the fuel level sensor to get it right though
Why not just use an 1/8 of a tank an/or 40 miles left to go as your new "empty"?
steve hi you hit it right on the head man he needs to check the fuel level sensor. not throw spark plugs at it.. and keep more gas in his tank the gauge is parable fine
That was one of the suggestions that i had either pump gas or computer i also have a dodge 1998 which i love much and had to change those two this but if u can give it a good tune up maybe the gaa pump is staring to miss or the cable gauge
well well 3 years later but it is the problem my husband has right now that they have to fix it this is so frustrating
Sounds like someone changed the fuel pump without setting the pump correctly inside the tank??? Or they messed with the float Or the float is sticking???
also keep in mind if you have a loose wire, just adding gas may not be the fix, your wire could be making a good connection again at the time and you might find that you'll have the problem again later, so be ready for another break down
its just amazing what happens when you feed the truck gas wow I would not go to the gas station and fill that truck up to full
I also ran in this problem and still trying to figure out, i have a 07 chrysler 300c 5.7 hemi and m’y car died 3 times already… once was when i was with my friends and the car just shut off on a red light but luckily i was able to started back over. second time was when i got home n it died there idling. that time it didn’t start back up at all… after some thinking we just put some gas in the car for luck even tho we tought it wouldn’t need it because the fuel gauge said a little less than 1/4 tank full but guess what, the car started right up. finally the third time was when my father took it for a drive and it died again… once again it died when the tank said it was just a little under 1/4 tank full…. we tried starting the car without putting fuel n it wouldn’t start…. but once again, once we added just a little bit of fuel. started back up… i have a weird feeling it has something with my fuel pump assembly like the leveler thing or it could be the hole fuel pump assembly idk
It worked that's crazy
If truck has been running just fine , its a possibility [no guarantee] to disconnect NEG battery terminal for a couple of minutes to reset computer to default. Then reconnect.
This comment (plus video) saved us from towing 07 Ram Hemi plus the paying the mechanic! Thank you!
@@plopez0729 Also any time you work on something electrical on your truck , ALWAYS disconnect the NEG terminal, otherwise you take a chance of burning something up. I own a dodge . Every time I watch something on youtube ,if its associated with electrical the NEG term is disconnected. If its Mechanical ,and associated with electrical in some way.... disconnect. Hope this helps
@@raditian2 yes it does. I appreciate you!
You could have said the tank was low and saved everybody a lot of time.
hey you're not paying for this your time means nothing
@@edwardwiltz1450 click bait
You can reset the fuel gauge just look it up here on UA-cam it worked for my 2004 dodge hemi
i have a 2004 dodge ram 1500 hemi it gave me a code p0406 which needed a change on the egr valve i replaced it but the engine wont start.
there are 2 relays and 2 fuses to check and a wire down in the engine compartment to check. also if the crank position sensor is bad the fuel pump won't come on for more than a second. usually if it tries to start for a second and cuts off, it's that circuit that has a problem.
I love my Evo more info on which wire please
Literally everything your doing as far as the fuel. I did the same thing do ur fuel pump. And it should be perfect
I recently had a problem on my 2004 model. I'm starting to think the engine computer was designed by Microsoft.
In other words, when encountering a problem the solution is to close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you continue driving.
Mine is back to working, but I'm not sure exactly what I did to make it work again. :(
How do you Restarted the computer??
🤣

I just had this problem with my 2004 Durango, I did have a quarter tank but put two more gallons of Gas but I wasn't that Lucky. A new months ago I also had a problem with what at the time I thought was the Throttle body, I was driving then it suddenly turned off but then It started up again. It happened again when I was showing off That Hemi power on the road, suddenly it felt like the throttle body was acting up again. Then two weeks after I came outside and started up my Truck then it shut off and didn't start anymore, it just cranked and cranked. Turns out My Fuel Pump went out, but I replaced it without dropping the tank.
How did u do that?
Yes how lol
Me: My truck doe snot start!
Support: have you tried putting some gas in it? LOL
Max Kalin 2005 Dodge Ram truck won't start replace fuel pump spark plugs TBS still won't start
Does it crank? Do lights flash on the dash? How old is the battery?
I'm having same exact problem
Fuel pump need replace brother...fuel pump sometime start sometime don’t ...but every time it turns but does not stay on...beat the bottom of gas tank hard it should start with ignition key on position that’ll reset the fuel pump get your truck to a safe place or back home
mine is doing this but I just did my fuel pump in July
There is a Anti-Theft switch looks like a key plug underneath the dash
There is ? New to me
put a fuel pressure gauge on your car before you add gas to see if you're getting fuel pressure before you add gas. if you are, and you add gas and it starts, it wasnt' your problem
My 04 Dodge Durango 5.7 is doing the same thing! I CHANGED PLUGS CAM AND CRANK SENSOR AND FUEL PUMP AND STILL NO START! Idk what to do
COME TO FIND OUT I HAD A BAD/BROKEN WIRE WHEN THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED!
LOL TELL ME ABOUT IT
Broken wire where?
Change cam shaft sensor on 2005 dodge ram 1500 now wont start ran before I took it out changed crank shaft sensor a month ago.
Got it started?
I have an 05 changed the timing chain and the cam sensor. Started and drove then suddenly turned off in the middle of the freeway
Yes, throw parts at it first and then diagnose it.
Jonathan Gill haha nice
Low fuel pressure or fuel pump bad
You should clen the throttle budy. Thats the problem.
I had the excact same problem with my 4.7. It’s the fuel pump
White Dynamite43 even with no check engine ?
ok i work at a dodge ram dealer you want to fix this problem don't let your fuel tank go below 1/2 tank problem solved veh fixt keep it simple just don't though parts at it spark plugs are no going to cause the problem that you were having . the truck did not have enough fuel in it to keep running maybe your fuel gauge is not working correctly you need to have that checked you also need to learn how to read your gauge and your gauge reads just above a 1/4 of a tank done
Hey Joe What other problems engines, transmission s do these 2003 Dodge 5.7 Hemi s have I’m looking at purchasing a 2003 with 95,500. Thanks for any assistance
Float on fuel pump is bad
Fuel pum relay. My friend
Where is the fuel pump relay. Can't find mine to be honest
mines does same thing i think i have same problem
if it stays on as long as you are on the gas pedal, then it may be the "Idler motor" . that is what went out on my 96 model ... about a $100 Dollar fix.
You have 178,444 miles on the truck, something is bound to happen. It's a work horse, even they get tired and need some TLC every once in a while.." lol...
Have a 2006 dodge durango.. I turn the key and it wont turn on but everything in the car starts flashing... What do I do
Aaron Riggs buy a Ford...
LOL a ford? are you trying to kill someone?
Did you ever figure out the problem?
My 2010 Dodge Ram with a 5.7 Hemi has power but wont crank
My 2007 5.7 is doing the same thing
@@outlaw0ftorn problem GET OUT OF DODGE

Fyi there is 16 spark plugs in the 5.7 hemis not 8. Still have 8 to do lol
He did 16

It's a crank center
Get that throttlebody throwing on first of all
Hi, I´ve the some problem wont start my Dodge Durango 2008 5.7 Hemi. Car stop suddentlty, fuel on 1/2. fuel pump was not working. I changed fuel pump(it come out with some parts broquen), by a short Chrysler fuel pump. find out no negative to fuel pump i fixed that and engine starts working. but on next day problem came back. So a replaced de 16 spurks and problem still, I read on google and I´ve tried just turn the ignition key to the "ON" position without cranking the engine over three times then, On the forth time crank the engine over and starts right up. So my question is do I have a weak fuel pump? Or other things happen?
HELP!!!!
I have the same problem. If you find anything out. Let me know.
well well 3 years later but it is the problem my husband has right now that they have to fix it this is so frustrating
Throttle body is issue
That's what mines doing
My moneys on the pump
Yep it's your fuel pump
Ain't got no gas in it
not hard for fuel pump! Take off bed...6-8 bolts and fuel pump is super easy to reach!
Gerald Wayne I’m a pipeline welder and work like a dog! and I got to say changing a 1500 fuel pump is not a walk in the park it’s pretty difficult especially if you don’t have a lift
I dropped the fuel tank to replace the fuel pump, not hard to do on my 2006 Ram 2500.
Your alternator bro
if alternator was bad it wouldnt charge the battery and it wouldnt have enough charge on it to crank over as much times as he has... Its the fuel pump
Man put you a new fuel pump in there that's your problem
Half of one quarter lol
That would be a 1/8 of a tank lol....
Lmfao
ha happened to me before.
Lol!!!!!
Fuel pump
Its fuel pump
Thanx for wasting our tiime...
