I have a 82 GMC 6.2l pickup. I had to replace the head gaskets and now I cannot get it started. (ran and idled great before I did this) I have fuel all the way up to the injector pump and fuel in coming out the return line when I crank it over but I am not getting any fuel to come out the injector pump itself. I have been cranking it over periodically for the last week and can only get a few drips of fuel out of the injector lines. Would this just be a very stubborn air bubble??? Winter is coming and I need my plow truck!!! HELP!

I tried to pressurize the fuel tank, now I'm starting to see fuel at the injector lines I have 3 lines that squirt when turning over but the others dont do anything. I'll just keep cranking and hope I see fuel soon!

 

Run a wire from the fuel cutoff to the return line actuator.

 

Not sure where those are located??? I've been looking on line for a schematic but I can find one, Do you know where I could look one up?

 

there is a single terminal on the left side of the pump there must be 12v on that wire it is a 12guage wire good luck

 

Be a heavy gauge wire (fuel cutoff) and two small green wires (solenoid) on top of the pump.

 

Cool, had the wires tucked away and didnt see them, I can hear click when I connect the fuel cut off wire, but I dont have power to the green wires, dont know if I'm suposed to or not, getting alot more drips when its turning over though. Thanks guys!

 

Need to have power to the solenoid, otherwise the excess fuel doesn't have any place to go.

 

Ok, I think I got everything. Fuel dripping at all injectors, tightened up all the lines and poured a little diesel and squirted ether in to the intake, fired a few times but not the batteries are dead, going to try again tomorrow depending if my kids cooperate with me!!!

 

Did you run a jumper to the other terminal?? Won't fire if you don't.

 

Yeah, ran the jumper Do I take it off if I ever get it started or is that a permanent jumper now?
