Dodge cold starting
A friend of mine has an early 90-s Dodge truck. 4 WD, and V-6 engine.
throttle body fuel injection. Sometimes it won't start when it's cold. Spins nice and fast, but just won't catch. I was there one time when it did this. Starter for a couple seconds. Wait a c ouple minutes as we chat, and then it fired right up. Says it's getting worse, and the problem is worse when it's cold. He replaced the ignition coil. I ws thinking cap and rotor, but it runs fine after it starts. He says someone suggeste fuel pump may be going weak. Any ideas what the problem might be? -- Christopher A.

Dodge cold starting
Sounds like fuel problem, perhaps lower power getting to fuel pump during
cranking, or filter or maybe the pump or in tank sock filter. Try turning the key on for a 3 seconds, then off, then start. Kinda typical behavior for aged fuel injected engines.
