If my dodge sits for about 6-8 hours over nite it's hard to start. Battery is new, the fuel pump kicks on and it will try to catch but fails unless I play with the throttle, could it be the pump is starting to go bad. I have checked all other things such as the coil. Once the truck is running there is no problems and if it sits for 3 hours I could go outside and starts with no problems. Please let me know if there is a solution to this problem thanks greg

Next time when it won't start don't wait for nothing to catch it-Do below

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
