Won't start. NEED help
I have a 1990 GMC Jimmy 6.2 automatic, Banks turbo kit, 265000 miles. It is sitting in the yard since I took the interior out to fix floors about 3 months ago. I have been starting it about every 2 weeks or so to drive it around the yard to keep all the juices flowing.
Friday night it wouldn't start, it would start for about 2 seconds and die. Thought maybe it was out of fuel. Got 5 gallons of fuel, cranked it and bled the filter. Still no start. Just cranks and doesn't even try now.
Glow plugs are working, block heater was plugged in. Not being a diesel man I listened to my son (never again) and shot it with ether. Sounded like somebody dropped a rock in a cylinder.
Everything still works and the starter didn't fly off. But still just cranks.
Took a wrench and loosed the only injector I could get to and cranked the engine. Took a while (10 or so seconds) for fuel to come out and when it did it was just a trickle. I it my understanding that these things use some rather substantial fuel pressure to operate the injectors. I would expect it to squirt out a good bit.
Any assistance would be appreciated. Yes it is acceptable to call me a moron for the ether.

To the OP the injectors use high pressure to pop but the flow is much less than you would expect.
I agree that air or a weak/dead lift pump or combination of the 2 is the best place to start your search.
