You are getting air in the fuel system. You may not be seeing a fuel leak but if a hose was split or a rusted line they will pull air in while sitting. Try checking the fuel return line at the back of the engine. They always split and crack and suck air in. Also check the lines coming out of the top of the tank - I have seem them rust through.

A frail fuel line can cause a diesel engine not to start.
The wait to start light on a 92 Dodge Diesel truck can be caused by a lack of fuel to the engine. It can also be caused by a wiring problem.
Probably the fuel pump. Or the injectors.
2007 was the first year but you could also get 5.9 diesel also
If a 2003 Dodge Diesel has a bad fuel pump, the vehicle will probably not start. If it does start, it will not run very long before it starts to spit and sputter and may even stall.

There are many wires on a Dodge Neon that can cause a no start condition.
Camshaft sensor is working intermittently, could cause a hard start or no start
It is possibly the injection pump. Happened to me. Contaminated fuel can cause it. The pump was replaced along with lift pump. Runs great now--Dodge has the best diesel engine. First, check the fuel pump relay--that happened to me, too. Under the hood, driver's side, plastic snap-off cover.
No, a Dodge Avenger will run without oil pressure.
from the furthest caliper from the master cylinder. Start with that one and move closer.
At cylinder 1, should be labeled on distributor cap.
