i dont know about any leaks but i just went through and tightened every hose clamp on the whole truck for the fuel system and now it wont start at all and im confused. i cracked all the lines open one at a time and i get fuel to each of em and it still wont start at all. i checked all my connections to the pump and all and it appears fine including the shut off solenoid. so now im just confused as can be it doesnt even sputter it sounds like it isnt pumping at all, but yet fuel is coming from all the lines

i guess today just isnt my day considering out of nowhere my fan decided to go crazy today and blow straight through my radiator.

 

Brutal, man. It was running fine until you did the alternator and a/c compressor? That's all you did recently? Timing issues can cause problems like that also a bad injector or low engine compression, but if it's been running fine without dicking with it, I have no idea...weird. What was the fuel preasure gauge showing? Fuel filter clogged? Man, now this is starting to confuse me too.

 

maybe your screen in the fuel tank is clogged up. mine did the same thing as what yours is doing and that was my problem.

 

i checked the timing on the pump and its still at an eighth advanced. its run a little rough since ive got it in the truck but i havent ever had a chance to fine tune it as i was also building the suspension and 4wd and everything else around it in the chevy and since i didnt have an alt or ac compressor or any belts i didnt want to overheat it. i just got done with all that and now im onto the motor. its confusing because it has run all the time and now it just randomly wont start. starts to get a little frustrating. i think im just going to call it a night and hit it tomorrow. maybe all it needs is a nights rest and not being frustrated with it

 

Good call, bud. Go have you a cold one.

 

Does the prime handle have any resistance on it once the truck has been sitting?
If so.. it is losing prime.

 

its the injection pump and one of the injectors is stuck open. new pump and injectors on the way this week

 

lets see some pics of the ride
