I have a 93 cummins the injection pump was rebuilt and now it just turns over I have searched the internet for 2 days now and tried everything, It will start with starting fluid but dies instantly, please help

 

Does the fuel shut-off solenoid, the electrical connection on top of the pump right behind the saucer-shaped diaphragm, have 12 volts to it?

Did you bleed the injector lines by cracking them open and cranking until fuel came out?

Are you sure it's timed correctly? You didn't smash the key when you were installing it?

 

Definatly is a fuel suppy issue... try the stuff Begle said and get back to us

 

I have primed for hours and getting no more air just fuel and smoke but it still wont even try to start, the pump slid right in the key way so I dont see how the timing would have got off

 

lift up the lever on the shut down solonoid then fire it up

 

That's not how the VE pumps work. There is no lever attached to the shut-down solenoid.

To totally remove the solenoid from consideration, you need to take your big 24mm wrench, unscrew the solenoid from the top of the pump (you gotta unbolt a backing plate first), and then remove the plunger. But first, you just gotta check to see if you got voltage there.



Even while shut, the solenoid will pass enough to put fuel out the lines while priming, but not enough for it to run.

 

dont use starter fluid in a diesel

 

I have 2 black wires and 1 blue which one go's to the solenoid I just want to make sure I have them on right

I didnt want to but I am sick of messing with this thing and everyone said to use it so I gave in and it didnt work

It is getting 11v to the solenoid and drops to 7 when turning over
