Durango 4x4 Question.

Q: dodge ram 5.2 4x4 49000 miles....dead. i can start this thing up and drive it for only 10 miles then i lose all fuel into the fuel rail. shut it off sit 15-20 minutes start it back up drive exactly 10 more miles and it does it all over again. throws up various codes124351 so i replaced the coilcode 43 per the shop didnt work. now they say fuel pump$230! but i ask how can it work fine for exactly 10 miles and then die and re-birth itself got no answer and dont care to spend over $200 to try it and have the same thing all over again i already ate $35 on a coil. unplugged the battery to reset codes and #12 is still coming up constant but 43 is gone as well as 51. the only thing i do know is when it died again and was popping & farting in the middle of the road i got pissed and happened to have a can of ether which i sprayed into the airbox and amazingly i was able to rev the piss out of it until i stopped blasting ether in it. checked the fuel rail again and got just a dribble with a ton of air. let it sit runs fine 10 milesexactly and the fun starts all over again. why will it run for exactly 10 miles before it screws up i cant believe what a fuel pump for this thing costs either! wow! btw it has a half-tankful of fuel in it so the air in the rail has got me obscenely baffled. anyone else ever encounter this kind of weirdness in a dodge before or any vehicle for that matter .
