My 2000 ram bus start. where should I start?

1. Check the battery. A dead or weak battery is a common cause of starting problems. If the battery is old or has been drained, try jump-starting the vehicle or charging the battery.

2. Check the fuel level. If the fuel tank is empty, the engine will not start. Refuel the vehicle and try starting it again.

3. Check the ignition switch. If the ignition switch is damaged or faulty, it will not be able to send power to the starter. Try turning the key to the "on" position and listening for a clicking sound. If you do not hear a clicking sound, the ignition switch may be faulty.

4. Check the starter. If the starter is damaged or faulty, it will not be able to crank the engine. Try tapping the starter with a hammer to see if it will start. If the starter does not start, it may need to be replaced.

5. Check the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is damaged or faulty, it will not be able to deliver fuel to the engine. Try listening for a humming sound when the key is turned to the "on" position. If you do not hear a humming sound, the fuel pump may be faulty.

6. Check the spark plugs. If the spark plugs are damaged or faulty, they will not be able to create a spark to ignite the fuel. Try removing the spark plugs and inspecting them for damage. If the spark plugs are damaged, they will need to be replaced.

7. Check the fuel filter. If the fuel filter is clogged, it will restrict the flow of fuel to the engine. Try removing the fuel filter and inspecting it for dirt or debris. If the fuel filter is clogged, it will need to be replaced.

8. Check the air filter. If the air filter is clogged, it will restrict the flow of air to the engine. Try removing the air filter and inspecting it for dirt or debris. If the air filter is clogged, it will need to be replaced.

9. Check the coolant level. If the coolant level is low, the engine will not be able to cool down properly. Try adding coolant to the radiator and starting the engine. If the engine does not start, it may be overheating.

10. Check the oil level. If the oil level is low, the engine will not be able to lubricate properly. Try adding oil to the engine and starting it. If the engine does not start, it may be seized.

If you have tried all of these steps and the engine still does not start, you may need to take the vehicle to a mechanic for further diagnosis and repair.
