How about the crank sensor??

 

so when its doing the hard start it is below 1500psi while it is only cranking then when it gets to 1500psi it starts?

 

Yeah it seems be be bouncing around the 1500psi mark when trying to start. Once it starts it shoots up to about 10,000psi then levels itself out around 6000psi when at idle. I dont have any codes or anything either.

would it throw a code if it was a crank sensor, and where is that located?

i would want to do this when its not running right? what are the torque specs for these?

 

watch yourself when the engine is running

 

Did you check to see if your PRV (pressure relief valve) leaks? It'll be right next to the rail pressure sensor. Oh and make sure you get all new connecting tubes.

 

i ran it today and did not see any leaks, what do you mean about connecting tubes, are you talking about the blue clamps, or injector tubes? Beacuase i just got injector tube yesterday, just waiting on the injectors should be here friday.

 

I have been hang the same problem since last spring. Changed fuel filter every other tank fill up.
Then had objector's Tested. Had to replace 4 of them. Ran fine for 3 monthsthen back to the same issues of getting it started.

 

I just want to let everyone know that after a year of chasing this hard start issue its finally fixed. I bit the bullet and replaced all 6 injectors and injection tubes, had the exhuast valves adjusted and its running like its 2004 again. It fires right up after one crank and its never been this quiet under the hood. Thanks for everyone help. I have learned a lot about the CR fuel system.

 

just read today its always the injectors, they have excessive return basically the internal relief in the injector bypasses more than it should so technically it has a fuel leak, you just cant see it without seperating the pump bypass from the injector return. about 700ml running for 60 secs is normal pump return, and hardly no fuel starting and usually anything more than 160 ml in 60 secs running from injectors is too much so the pump and fca work double time to overcome the leak. no codes is normal but if you pop a little ether it will start, spike rail pressure then level out. number one cause for leaking internally is changing fuel filters every time truck loses power, not every other oil change like you should. it takes a lot of fuel filters to overcome $3000 worth of parts and labor to replace. just saying. fyi if you get a p000f or the poof code thats when you look at the overflow valve. its blowing open under a load. ive never had one leak without the code, and ive put in a thousand injectors. but i hope you at least went on line to get injectors, not the dealer. bc all of ours are remans and still cost and arm and a leg

 

Yeah i got them all online, about $2,200 including a core charge. So what are you trying to say.....your not suppose to change your filter all the time, i usually change mine after every oil change.
