My 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup with a 5.9 Engine will not start. Yesterday morning it hesitated before starting. About 15minutes later I made a stop and the engine restarted without any problems. About four hours later it would not start. Had to have it towed home.

I am able to get the engine to run momentarily with starting fluid. I think the fuel pump is not working. How can I be sure?

Hi Billco48, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation.

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.
