I too wonder about the fuel pressure, the service manual says it should be something over 45 psi.
But one thing, I had a weird problem with my Durango once, and it has happened to some Crossfires, too. Bad battery!
Does your car TRY to start, but can't seem to keep running? If so, read on:
This is what it would do:
1) Turn key, engine spins and starts.
2) Release key - engine dies right away.
3) I think, "What the hell?"
Try 1 and 2 over and over - no good. I think, "What the HELL?"
Call the hook, guy tows it to our favorite garage. Mechanics spend 1 1/2 hours, can't make it run. I pull up in my van, some old guy says, "trade batteries between his van and Durango". They do. Now, the van AND the Durango start.
Switch batteries back. Now the van still runs, but the Durango won't start.
Put Durango battery on draw tester -
checks good!
They give up: They replace the
two year old Durango battery - engine starts and I drive away.
There is SOMETHING about all the electronics in cars today. Even so, maybe before you change the battery, (if you go this route) you should clean and tighten the battery terminals and inspect the battery ground cable connection at the opposite end from the battery.
I know it sounds nuts, Just saying....
