6.5 won't start HELP!!
 

Iwas driving down the highway . The engine sputtered like I run out of fuel. It felt like it stalled but it didn't. this happened twice. The third time it happened it stalled and will not start. Several times in the past 3 weeks it sputtered very briefly but never stalled. 2days prior to this I replaced leaking fuel injector return lines on right [turbo] side . Code reader found code P1216 fuel solenoid response time to slow. Is there a way to test the solenoid? sould I replace the selenoid?
I know it sounds like the PMD but before spending big bucks on a pmd I want to be shore that is the problem.

Check the LP..you should hear it come on when you turn the key, it's just under your feet on the frame.

Bout the only test for the solenoid is a "click" sound wit 12v applied.

^^ what he said

ordering a pmd on Tuesday hope this works .

mine stalled the other day at the stoplight. im glad though that the pmd and the extension harness are on my desk waiting to be put on

So did the pmd go that quick, without any warning what so ever? I carry a spare one with me also.

mine still works. it just stalled for no reason the other day. crossing my fingers it doesnt happen again or its another problem. im guessing its a pmd because everything else works fine

The lift pump (located on the inside of the frame, drivers side) could be the culprit. It could also be the Oil Pressure Switch too. If the truck is not starting, unplug the electrical connector on the lift pump. Use a test light (make sure you have a clean ground to the frame) and test the connection coming to the lift pump. In order to test this connection, someone needs to either turn the key over or the truck needs to be running......thats right, a 6.5 will run at times without the lift pump working, usually runs poorly, but may continue to run. If your are getting power to the lift pump, this confirms that the OPS is working properly. If you are not getting power to the lift pump, then it is very likely that the OPS has failed. The OPS is located at the rear of the engine, next to the firewall, and behind the fuel filter (manager). IF you are not getting power to the lift pump, change the OPS.

If you are getting power down to the lift pump, you can try a couple of things.

1. If the truck will start, once it is running, open the tee valve (located next to thermostat housing). If fuel comes out of the tee valve, the lift pump works. If not, and you have confirmed you are getting power to the lift pump from the OPS, then the lift pump is shot.

2. If the truck will not start, use a 12v power supply and connect it to the lift pump. Listen for the pump to kick in. You could also crack the outlet side of the lift pump to see if fuel is coming out once you have the 12v power supply connected to the lift pump.
