I blew a power steering hose , cleaned up the mess replaced the hose, driving down the road, truck revs up to about 3grand and dies the truck will not start. I have replaced the fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator and new batteries still no start , took to dodge dealer cause I had a p2509 my mechanic buddy said computer maybe needed to be flashed , dodge mechanic said computer is good and needed to do a fuel test , lift pump good, injector pump good but I only had 149 psi at rail he checked the fuel pressure relief valve it was bypassing like crazy, he says I needed a new one put new one on fuel pressure at rail is no 500 psi but still no start , now he is testing the injectors.....anyone else been through this any ideas.....

Does it start with a wiff of ether? and then will it run fine? or will it not keep running? if it starts with ether, id say injectors are returning too much, or injector feed tubes, check for wetness by injector lines, tightin all feed tube nuts, cap off injectors individually or pull them out and get checked

Contaminated fuel? Id maybe lean towards that, should be able to tell if the injectors are pulsing if rail pressure is high enough. if it doesnt continue to run after a little ether then injcetors arent getting fuel or for some reason not pulsing.

I had one come in with contaminated fuel, was getting rail pressure but no start, it plugged up the rail, and obviously injectors
