By hard I assume you mean not as easy as it used to. It could be the glow plugs which are what diesels use instead of a spark plug or a weak coil. A mechanic could tell you in ten minutes.
don't start it, drain gas out of the fuel system. If you started it call a mechanic to see what damage you've done to the engine
The 1996 has 12 valves, they did not start putting the 24 valves in the pickup until 1998.5. Hope this helps.
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.
my old Toyota pickup up would do the same thing, cut out going about 40 to 50 mph, but at about 20mph it would kick back on. It was one of the sensor chips. Toyota replaced the chip and the odometer, and I never had the problem again.
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.
