Hi all. I recently purchased a 1993 Dodge Ram Van dedicated cng. I do not know much about cng vehicles and was looking for some input. The van will often have a hard time starting. At best I usually have to crank it a few times to get it to start. Other times it just refuses to start no matter how much I crank it. When this happens, sometimes the engine sounds like it is about to start but doesn't quite make it. Often when this happens and I let the vehicle sit for a few hours and try again it starts right up. After I finally get it started it will start consistently for a while before it refuses to start again.
The other issue I'm having is that the van stalls occasionally. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to when it happens. Sometimes I'll be on the highway and it basically loses power. I press the accelerator, nothing happens and the car shuts off. Other times I will be driving in the city and come to a stop sign and it will do the same thing. Usually when this happens it will start right back up.
Any ideas, input, suggestions?? I changed the air filter (which was completely clogged) and that seemed to help at first.
Also, I am located in Philadelphia if anyone knows a cng mechanic or someone with cng experience that is local. Thanks for your input!
