Default Hardly any fuel to #1 cylinder

At work our 94 5 speed started missing today, had a fuel leak so we thought it was sucking air. Fixed it and bled the lines, still had it. We noticed the line to #1 had barely any fuel pressure at any rpm while the other 5 would squirt everywhere when cracked open. We also put on a new lift pump as well, it would die between shifts after pulling hard. Any idea why the injection pump aint puttin out much fuel on only 1 cylinder? Thanks

Try taking the fuel line all the way off and blowing air through it. Just and idea that might be worth a shot

I would bet the plunger and barrel in the injection pump is bad, how many miles does that truck have on it?

Plunger is siezing in the barrel. Classic effect of extended time with low fuel pressure.

That makes sence because it was ran a while before they realized the fuel pump was out, i'll pull parts off our junker dodge to see. Its got a little over 200,000 miles. So does it need a new plunger to?
