Dodge Durango Turning Over, But Engine Not Starting
Hi, thanks for your help in advance! I have a 2008 Dodge Durango. For the last couple of months, it's been turning over, but not starting the first time I try to start it. I'll turn the ignition switch to "off" and try it again, and it starts right up. However, today, I tried it over and over and it turns over and the battery sounds great, but the engine just won't start.
After doing some reading online, I am wondering if it's the fuel pump, but don't want to jump right into that repair if it's something more simple.
Over the last couple of months it's been relatively warm here (in SLC, UT) but this morning, when I am really having a problem getting the engine to start, it was about 15 to 20 degrees colder.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this problem?

Jared, Thanks for the
Jared,
Thanks for the detailed description. I would go with your first instinct. Checking the fuel pressure seems like a good idea. There are several tests you could perform but check for spark and post the results of a fuel pressure test as well. These checks should be performed while the vehicle is not starting.
Post back with any info or questions. We'll be glad to help. Thanks.
Thanks drivability! I was
Thanks drivability! I was just on my way to AutoZone when my wife said "Did you try putting gas in it?" She said that because it acts up when it's low on gas, more than anytime. So, It had 88 miles until empty in it, before I put gas in, so I know there was gas in the car before, but I put about two more gallons of gas in and it started up.
I'm heading over to get a fuel pressure guage and I'll post the results. Not sure if the new info helps, but I thought I'd post it just in case!
