Replaced The Head Now It Won't Fire Argggggghhhh
 

ok so got the head on this week got every thing cheey and good to go. i go to fire the truck and we get nothing, cracked the lines got fuel out got her to fire on a lil bit of eather then she died right after, and kept trying well now the injection pump is no longer pushin the fuel and were not gettin it at the head any more fuel pressure is around 10 psi.... we can get it to run on eather (bad i know i know) but not fuel!!!! ugh 3 montsh and 1 day now.......

WOW man ! Should be a RANT and not a support thread !!

Are you getting fuel to the Injection pump ?

Because if your getting fuel in and no fuel out ...ekkkk

as of right now yes but we got fuel out of it for a second now no fuel WTF!!!

Maybe it lost prime ? Keep hitting it with eather

DONT USE ETHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


use something with lube, like WD40 or anything, just not straight ether, use the kind with top lube.....

wd40 works good, i wouldn't use ether either

logan we did use strait eather and also wd40 *not at the same time* im going ot check all the connections tomorrow and see what ican get we had 10psi for startign thats right at perfect and yet no vroom vroom, valves were all rea adjusted and set perfect by muahhh just no injection pump to injector action. any one got any ideas throw them out there, and im shure one possiblility is the injection pump took a crap on me but i dont like that option.......

check your electrical then go mechanical.......

I would check the return line regulator on the pump. They used to be $50, and can cause a hard to prime condition. Been a while since I was in the thick of things with the VP though.

Those lines take a while to prime after being empty. With the throttle floored, crank for 10 seconds, wait a minute then crank another 10 seconds until fuel shows up at the injector fittings then tighten them up and start the truck. I loosened #1,#3,#4 & #5 until fuel arrived.
If it ran fine before, it'll run fine now...keep the batteries charged.
