I have a 1998 cummins . It's been running great till yesterday. I started it like always, walked 10 steps away and it died like the "key had been turned off". I still have power to everything and it cranks over just fine. I pulled injector line #1 loose and had the boy turn it over. I am getting fuel. So I'm suspecting fuse / electrical issues ?? Any ideas? Thanks

 

Crack #3 injector line and see if your getting fuel there.

 

As stated above, you'll need to crack a few injector lines to test.
Do you have a fuel pressure gauge? Are you sure you're getting adequate fuel to the VP44?

 

12V or 24V ??

 

Ok the same damn thing happend to myn 3 weeks ago ok if its a 24v. your pump is probly bad but i replaced my pump and it still wouldnt run after iput my new one in. I spent 2 days crankin it trying to get it to run come to find out it was the relay for the fuel in the engine compartment fuse box just try this first ok. switch the fuel relay with the wiper motor relay if it still dont work prolly bad pump but hope it helpos let me know what you find out but try this first it might work my pump that i switched out it might had been good and i bought a pump for no reason. let me know what happens im curiouse

 

when my vp44 went out it was just like yours i got fuel but it was not enough did it throw any codes?

 

yea it threw like 3 or 4 its wierd how you described it bec. I was pulling out of the drive and forgot somthing in the house and stoped put in park and as soon as i walked in the door it shut off so did you try to switch the relays

 

yes and your description is dead on. i started my truck pulled it up close to door went in to get kids and as soon i i opened door on house truck stut off. still got some fuel but not enough, and there was codes reading about computer, fuel, map and something else. the dodge dealer told me it was computer so i bought one, put it on hauled truck back to dodge for flashing and they said it was vp-44 check out tb diesel

 

try swaping the wiper motor relay with the fuel relay and see if that works let me know

 

Back finaly

I was about to load it up and haul it to shop , believe it or not, I actualy stomped on the Accelerator a few 10-15 times, just because (Knowing this does not a damn thing) as it was turning over, and it actualy lit off ? I drove it to the shop, and had the fuel presure checked out. They said I only had 31 psi and it needs to be approx 50 (I think thats what it was). I have know bought a new in the tank lift pump with the conversion kit , and will loose the old block style one. Hope this is it, I dont trust any of the shops on this stuff.
