2000 Dodge Ram 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

Hi, I've been looking into trying to solve the problem with my truck. It wont star unless I pump the gas pedal and hold it down. Once I let up on the pedal the truck will die.

Maybe you have an idle air problem? Can you check for applicable trouble codes. I have heard you might be able to access some codes by cycling the key, on--off, on--off, on, you don't crank it, then watch the digital odometer. It won't hurt to try, even if it doesn't work.

Ok, so I did as you said. Played with the ignition. Started it up, kept my foot on the pedal. And it was the same. As soon as I took my foot off it died.

A few hours later I went back to look at it again, and it started up with no problems, and is now running like nothing was wrong with it. Keep in mind it wouldnt start for about 2 weeks.
