    Dodge ram 1500 (1998 model)
    I have two problems, 1, when I go to start the truck and turn the key it doesn't start at the first turn of the key sound like it want's to start but doesn't until I turn the key over again.
    I have replaced the battery thinking it was that. I just had a full tune up. And the problem still happens. Is it my starter or something else?

    2, my A/C only works for a short time blows cold air then it just blows. I had posted this before and was told to check the A/C relay switch. I did nothing happen's. Any idea's.

    Thanks, Jose

    For the start up.I would check the fuel pump relay and fuel filter. Sounds to me that it has to be primed twice to get enough fuel to fire. As for the a/c, I'm not much good at that.but I would check to be sure its fully charged and the relay like the other guy said.

    Thanks for the information. If it is the fuel pump that is going bad. What can I expect to pay to have it fixed. I believe the fuel pump is located inside of the gas tank on this model.
    Parts and labor.

    Thanks again.
