wont start without using starting fluid
 

:humm:some one brought me a truck that has already had lift pump' computer' intake heater' fuel heater' filter' injectors' whats the problem????

Won't crank or won't fire? And I hope they aren't spraying ether in the turbo :argh:

Is it throwing any codes? What's fuel pressure? How do fluids look?

What year truck? If it's the 03, high pressure fuel leak. If it's the 98.5-02, VP44. :ouch:

Is it the 03 in your profile? If so you may have better luck in the 03-07 CR section...

I was going to say OH NO starting fluid + grid heater = explosion.... BUT i dunno if CR trucks have heaters?

you say it wont start w/o ether i assume it will run how much blowby does it have or maybe an upstream leak in your fuel system sucking air you say new pump did you check the fittings just to make sure it doesnt take much

Seriously????
First of all if this is a vp truck has there been a fuel pressure check or any diagnosis of the vp? Did we really just talk about using starting fluid and not mention disconnecting the grid heater? Lol I've never used starter fluid too much, there's really never a reason if its diagnosed correctly.

I mentioned it LOL!

you can roll it off and it will crank they just brought it to me the engin is fine i told them the worst thing they done was use ether!!!! they repl aced everything i havent had a chance to go behind there work and check behind them just didnt know if yall had seen this before.
:argh:

Yes CR's have grid heaters,stock anyway. :c:

I would agree with air getting into the fuel system or maybe a bad check valve letting the pressure drop in the line causing hard start/no start.

thanks where is the check valve??:ouch::s:

Here you go.....(below):c:

Just realized we are in the VP Section....
Fuel Pressure Needs to be Min. 10 PSI Volume, I would say atleast 400mL in 10 seconds.
A weak overflow will usually cause pressure to never build and normally are detected after lift pump replacement.
A Cracked Tank Module will cause issues starting occasionally but generally if there is a issue its generally near the lift pump in a factory application. So check your tubing and hoses there.
Connector tube o-rings are the next most common cause I've got the part numbers if you need them.
We use a clear tube at fuel inlet to verify no loss of prime. Then Test the VP-44 as a stand alone, and see if the issue is still present, if so replace the vp.

I wouldn't hesitate for one second calling it a failed injection pump. I would say in 30 Minutes - 1 hour you could have it determined if the pump should be replaced. One additional note, have you cracked injector lines on 1,3,4 and 5 and cranking for 30 seconds and seeing if fuel is present?

lol I skim over and make stupid comments some times. my bad :c:

thanks i will check those next and keep yall posted. :c::bombin:
