i got it to start on wd-40 but same thing it ran for a little bit and died.

i took the ecm out to see if dodge would scan it. nope they said i have to bring the whole truck in. so i plugged it back in and tried to start it now i am getting p0123 throttle position circuit high input. moparman i now see what you are saying about the 15 seconds. i am going to hotwire the vp44 again and bleed the crap out of it and see if i can get it to run fresh fuel filter, the old one was still good but replaced anyways, no air going to the 44, verified by using a piece of clear tubing. i have a bhaf and it looks good, i also disconnected the intake horn once to start it. if it wasn't for everyone being backed up until the middle to end of july i would have already dropped it off. Just got done cranking on it for a good while, with 1,3,4 lines cracked. I got a good amount out of 4, tightened it back up, but never got anything to significant out of 1 and 3. all codes cleared except for having the 44 disconnected guess i will spend some time this weekend looking at 44's, reviews and warranty. not looking to buy anything special just something that will last and run good thanks again

the carter showed 12-14 psi, but i replaced it because I was worried that it had the pressure and not enough flow. after having this problem and trying to diagnose it i found out that the lift pump wasn't running on every bump. the truck hasn't stayed running long enough to find out if the lift pump stays running every few times that it will start. Just tried cranking several times. the wait to start came on the first time, and 4 times after, it did not. When i hot wired the vp44 there is a chance that I didn't try long enough or enough cranks. It did not like doing it, didn't want to wast 1000+ if i didn't have to best places to shop for a new/refurbished ecm? thanks all for helping me with this

The other day i got back home from a 2 hour drive and as I was pulling into my place the engine just shuttered and died. Luckily I was able to start it back up and park it. I went out the next day to see if it was still acting funny and it wouldn't start. The lift pump wouldn't work all of the time and I had a carter unit on it. So i ran a relay, ordered an airdog frrp100. I have not gotten any codes off of my smarty, 15 psi to my vp44 and a fresh fuel filter. I have no air going to the v44, I installed clear hose to verify this. I have cracked 1,3,4 injectors a million times. Usually I can get it to run for 2-3 minutes one time and then it won't run after that. I have even hard wired, with a fuse, the vp44 and same thing. I get fuel out of the cracked injectors, not sure if its enough though. previously when it was cold, I would put my auto trans in reverse and it would stall. I would have to let it run for a while and let it warm up before I could go in reverse. 2000 2wd with ats auto trans. smarty turned on for economy only Is my 44 dead with no codes?
