Just as the title says, my first gen won't start. I was driving along and it quit, so I coast to the side of the road. I crank it around four to five times and it cranks, go about a half mile and it stops. Did this around three times. I had it pulled home to work on it. Well I changed the fuel filter and replaced it with a brand new fleetguard. I tried to bleed the air out at the nut there, no dice, the lift pump has no resistance. I check to see if any fuel is getting to the injector pump, there was, but very little. So I figured I had run it out of fuel. I took the line off the lift pump, put an air nozzle on it and with around 10-15 psi blew back to the tank, no bubbles. Okay, I ran it out of diesel.
So I got ten gallons today and poured in. Start to pump the lift pump, it starts coming out of the bleeder bolt. Whew, I'm in the clear, well not exactly. I bled it out to the bolt, tried to start it, nothing. Okay, so I bled the injectors, still nothing. I have no idea what's left to do with this thing, there is fuel getting all the way to the injectors. I'm going out of my mind and worried sick about it.
So anybody have any ideas?

 

Leave the fitting loose going in to the pump and bleed all the air off there

 

wouldn't bleeding out at the injectors do the same thing DM?

 

Start with before the pump

 

okay, that's one more thing to try in the morning...going to school smelling like diesel is awesome.

 

Is the fuel shut off working? Maybe teh wire fell off.

 

somebody suggested that on another site bobby, I went out and checked the wires...they checked out good (on good) I'm gonna check em for power in the morning.

 

if yer getting fuel to the pump and injectors then the shutoff is working correctly..... i'm bettin on massive ammounts of air in the pump.....

 

but the injectors are bled...bleed em again.

 

Did you ever get her running Phil?
