Thanks to Dieselnut, Coal Train, www.hollandcourtsales.com,

WOW man ! Should be a RANT and not a support thread !!

Are you getting fuel to the Injection pump ?

Because if your getting fuel in and no fuel out ...ekkkk -

DieselMinded's Sig:

as of right now yes but we got fuel out of it for a second now no fuel WTF!!! -

Maybe it lost prime ? Keep hitting it with eather -

DONT USE ETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


use something with lube, like WD40 or anything, just not straight ether, use the kind with top lube..... -

logan we did use strait eather and also wd40 *not at the same time* im going ot check all the connections tomorrow and see what ican get we had 10psi for startign thats right at perfect and yet no vroom vroom, valves were all rea adjusted and set perfect by muahhh just no injection pump to injector action. any one got any ideas throw them out there, and im shure one possiblility is the injection pump took a crap on me but i dont like that option....... -

check your electrical then go mechanical....... -

I would check the return line regulator on the pump. They used to be $50, and can cause a hard to prime condition. Been a while since I was in the thick of things with the VP though. -

Those lines take a while to prime after being empty. With the throttle floored, crank for 10 seconds, wait a minute then crank another 10 seconds until fuel shows up at the injector fittings then tighten them up and start the truck. I loosened #1,#3,#4 & #5 until fuel arrived.
If it ran fine before, it'll run fine now...keep the batteries charged. -

we had a problem starting a truck after the IP swap, turned out to be the FF air bound. I took a nice Diesel bath bleeding the FF housing but she fired right up after. -

Mine can be a pain to start,you say you've got 10psi though...
I ran mine out of fuel the other day,took me an hour to get it restarted,finally I got to wondering and pulled the filter apart,NO FUEL! ARRRGGG!
Heh,just ran the pump a couple times with the filter off,then when it started filling the filter housing I put the filter back in,and bled to the IP,then bled to the head,fired right up.
I'm sure you've tryed that.
sounds to me like maybe you've got too thick of a headgasket or something,like not enough compression,hope I'm wrong.

I see scott said the same thing,not trying to steal your thunder bro! -

Even the thickest head gasket available wont reduce the compression enough to not fire the fuel. Sounds like what a couple of you have said...probably an empty FF that isnt getting primed. BTW- DO NOT SPRAY ANYMORE ETHER IN THAT ENGINE UNLESS YOU WANT TO BUY A NEW ONE. You're stripping the cylinders and pistons of any lubricant when you do that and now the engine is running with no lube above the piston rings. -
