We have a couple of 2018 Ram 1500 (auto 8 sped, 4x4, Outdoorsman trim, 5.7L) in our fleet that have a peculiar issue. After a hot soak, they experience intermittent crank no start. BUT: will start if you lightly depress the throttle or repeatedly try to re-start . Issue is happening with fobik in ignition or with remote start. Both vehicles have been to the dealer for that issue, while on warranty (now expired). They replaced the key Fobs, cleaned the throttle body, tried reflashing, did the hokey pokey dance or tried to say it never did it while there.
So, I'm trying to come up with a plan to try to figure this out. I only have small windows of time to work on them, duplicate the issue and catch some data that would point me in the right direction. Right now, the first things on my list are : purge valve, leaky injectors/ loss of fuel pressure.
I have a micropodII/Witech, pico 4 channels and Uscope as main data capture units. I have researched this (internet and other techs) and came up empty handed.
Questions are : Have you run into this or heard about it ?
What would you suggest as for a strategy.
Thanks
Regards

Hot soak might be fuel related. Got injector pulse and pressure when it acts up? I know the older Chrysler’s had fuel pump relay issues inside the tipm. Got any codes at all in any modules?

No codes. Waiting for fuel rail hose adapter to come in (on order) before I can continue.
