Greetings,
I have a '96 ram with 188k that I've had no problems with for the past few years of ownership. Slowly over the past month I've started modifying it (prior nothing had been done to the motor). I first bought gauges, BHAF, 5" exhaust and finally last night put in a #100 fuel plate. The truck started fine, ran about a mile and as my foot got a bit heavy sputtered and died. No matter what I do it won't start. Fuel pressure looks "normal" fuel shut off solenoid works, and no new leaks or strange puddles under the truck. For the life of me I can't figure out whats wrong. Also it looks to be pouring vaporized fuel out of the exhaust. I unplugged the fuel solenoid and it cleared up so it seems I can say its getting fuel in the cylinders that's not burning, just getting pushing out through the exhaust... This doesn't make sense from what I know of diesels. Any help is really appreciated! - |

Thanks for the welcome!
My apology for being confusing. When my truck died and I tried to start it there was a lot of vaporized fuel coming out of the exhaust. I unplugged the solenoid to see if it would blow out any excess fuel by turning over the motor - which it seemed to do. My thought was that it seemed like the truck was flooded (again I know that doesn't happen with diesel engines but was a bit desperate) With the solenoid plugged in and working or not the truck has never started again since it originally died. - |
