Some Dodge Charger owners report experiencing starting issues after replacing the throttle body and gas pedal, often related to the need for an Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Relearn procedure. Failure to perform this procedure can lead to rough engine performance and the setting of Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC). Additionally, some owners have encountered fuel delivery problems, such as issues with the fuel filter or fuel pump, which can prevent sufficient fuel from reaching the combustion chamber, resulting in the engine cranking but not starting. Ignition system malfunctions have also been reported, causing the engine to crank without firing up. Furthermore, a weak or dead 12v battery may lead to slow cranking or failure to crank at all, necessitating a battery voltage test to identify the issue. To resolve these starting problems, it is important for owners to ensure the ETC Relearn procedure is completed, check fuel delivery, inspect the ignition system, and verify battery condition.
