hi, I have a 2001 dodge ram 1500 4x4 and it doesn't want to start some time in the morning, I find it is worst when it is wet.. but it has been sputtering a bit lately and when I would stop to a light or slow down I would here a tic noise like a spark noise and it would sputter... anyway it will start after a while of messing around and then it works OK but it is getting worst the code it says is 0443 any help would be great!

I've seen major problems with Dodge trucks using cross-reference spark plugs. Ensure you are only using the exact Champion spark plugs that came in your truck. I would change them if you have more than 30,000 miles on the plugs. You may also want to replace the spark plug cables, being sure to use dielectric grease on the spark plug terminals and porcelein.
