Alright guys, i need your help. So, I put some new injectors in my truck. Bled the lines and everything. Now the truck cranks for awhile, then fires up. Once the truck is running, you can shut it off, then start it again and it fires right up. The engine light is on, but will go off some days. The only thing I can think of is, one of the copper washers kinda got messed up but I don't know that, that would cause it. What are your thoughts guys?

 

Well, How many miles does your truck on it have? and also how many times have you done injectors?

I would suspect the crossover tubes, you can only pull them out once or twice. Im only saying this because you said that you have just changed out injectors.


But first check your Fuel pressure and for leaks. If you can ever catch the check engine light try to catch the code.

 

She's going on 284, that was the first time I did injectors. But it was pretty simple, I mean time consuming but simple. I don't think I ever pulled the tubes all the way out. But if you were to pull out more than once or twice what is it that happens?. Thanks for your help!

 

Its the oring's on the injection line, you should have saw em when you pulled them did you check for cracks on the orings? and since you did it, did you torque the holdowns to 80 inch pounds. I would assume either the orings on the injectors or the crossover tubes. You also need to check for burs on both ends they will cause cavitation and or restrict flow. Or that washer you messed up may cause an issue that washer a compression washer and its to keep compression in the cylinders when you say messed what did you do?
