If it isn't a fuel issue, then I would look at the timing, check that your timing hasn't jumped a teeth or two. Bring it to TDC and check all markings.

Dodge 98 ram 1500, . got new battery, changed the fuel pump, relay okay, fuse okay.. new idle/air valve new plugs, wires, coil, distributor, cap, got gas in it.. will start, but a few minutes later will...
I would take a look at the plugs and see if they are fouled. You might have a bad fuel pressure regulator. Also, the control module or pick up coil could be bad.

It seems that my 98 Dodge Ram 1500 will not run when I start it cold unless I give it a bit of gas. It seems that the choke is not engaging.
replace the I.A.C --idle air control valve. located on the throttle body. Sometimes you can clean them or even tap on it with a hammer and they will work again, but replacement is recommended. very easy. hope this helps--i've changed quite a few.
