Default Injection Pump?

Buddy of mine has an 01 HO 6 speed 24v. He's just running edge juice, 150hp injectors, and airdog 100. Got a call from him today and he said it didnt feel quite right. What he described to me sounded like a short spell of dead pedal, but he's saying it was not the dead pedal feel. He was with me in my truck when i fried my IP, so he knows what dead pedal feels like. Anyway, shortly after the truck stalled while driving and he hasnt been able to get it running since. He says hes got 17 psi of fuel pressure, and disconnected the airdog line to the IP and has fuel there. Told him to crack the 1, 3, 5 lines and he has fuel there. Did a couple runs of bumping the key and letting the pump run. No go. Last thing we did was an APPS reset just for the hell of it, even though thats obviously not the problem, i just figured might as well do it while he has the batteries disconnected ( told him to d/c the batteries to reset the computer ). Right now, the truck is coughing trying to start, almost like after you install a new set of injectors. Told him to hit it with some wd40, no go. There are no codes stored in the truck when you check in the odometer window, no check engine light, and im not there to scan it wth my solaris scanner but my guess is no codes. Any other ideas or should i plan on doin an injection pump in it...

Is it the original injection pump; either way man i agree with them and i hate to say it sounds like the injection pump. If you got a good mechanic go through them they can give you a good deal. Dealership your looking at $3000 min

Ive done my share of these pumps, and i can get the parts being a dealer. Im not 100% sure if its his original pump but my guess is yes with 120 some thousand miles
