Runaway cummins, running on its own oil????
so I pulled my lift pump on my 95 12v to replace the gasket behind the pump to the block. after replacing it I decided to try and see if vise grips would work to pull a DV holder to install my new 191's. after two tries at it I put the injector line back on and turned all the barrels back to their stock positions. (had previously turned them about 1/16 for more fuel) so after I turned the barrels back I went to start it. nothing. cracked an injector to check for fuel and bleed any air. no fuel. changed the fuel filter. still nothing. found out you need a spacer behind the lift pump to allow the pushrod to move enough. so I made spacer. now I get plenty of fuel it seems to the injection pump and plenty of fuel out of the delivery valve holders and I get a decent amount of fuel to the injectors themselves. so I bit the bullet and gave it two shots of starting fluid. fired up and ran on its own fuel I think. now the throttle linkage is doing nothing when I hit the throttle and it will rev itself up to about 2300rpm. when I shut the truck off nothing. plug the turbo nothing. had to crack the first three injectors just to shut the truck off. and it lost probably a half quart of oil just from me trying to start it. but it hasn't dripped one drop.
any ideas on what in the hell I might have done wrong would be sweet.
Thanks for any help!
