Takes a while if it's dry.

The idle rate for an injection event is only around 3 mm3 of fuel per event. That's not much....

Keep going....at least another 3 or 4 times.

If you get nothing by then, there's probably a problem with the pump itself....

I've done it about 8 times now, no fuel at the injectors I took the return line off the front of the pump and cranked it has very little stream of fuel coming out of the pump at the return line nipple

There was all kinds of **** coming out of that t valve when we first started bleeding it but it ClEared up

read:

89 6.2 no fuel coming out of injection pump - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

Same pump, earlier year.

Metering valve stuck.

More reading:

86 3/4 ton gmc suburban with 6.2l no fuel from injector pump. - Diesel Place : Chevrolet and GMC Diesel Truck Forums

OK ,help me out here. DB2 no start

Again, stuck metering valves. Part of the Fuel shut off circuit on a DB2. Should have been checked when you checked the solenoid.

Did you check it?

If you didn't, you stopped too short when I suggested you check the fuel shut off solenoid.

The metering valve is what is actuated by the fuel shut off solenoid. The solenoid can make and audible "click" but not move the rack if the metering valve is stuck.

Result: no fuel to the injectors.

Give me an OBDII DS4 any day.............

Have you had the lift pump hot wired while trying to start the truck?

Having the block heater plugged in and the lift pump running can help with a hard start.

It's possible you could have had a leak in the fuel system that let your fuel bleed down during the 3 days it sat.

I haven't figured out yet if you ran fuel out the drain and/or bled the filter

When you ran the 1/2 gallon out the drain, did you note the fuel flow rate?

Did you notice any water ***** forming on the bottom of the container?

I have had the block heater plugged in since Monday, no I did not try hard wireing the lift pump and starting it, I bled fuel out of the top of the filter I unscrewed that little corcle thing about a turn and a half. Fuel came spraying out yes it did have tiny bubbles in it after I quit cranking. More fuel seemed to come out when I quit cranking rather than while I was cranking. I didn't get any fuel to the injectors so now I am going to check the metering valve and solonide

You only need to plug the block heater in for about 2 hours before working on the truck to garner the benefits. Otherwise you're burning extra electricity.

To properly bleed the filter you must have the lift pump running all the while you are opening the bleeder and closing it. If the fuel filter bleeder is open when the lift pump is NOT running you will immediately get a little air in the system. Causing a harder than normal start situation on a running truck.

Did I say in my post to run a clear line to the container and watch for air bubbles?

You need to do things in the proper order and be thorough to properly diagnose the truck. There are reasons for every step in the diagnostic process.

With your skipping and hopping bopping around, nobody really knows what you have or have not done or if it was done correctly.

You are very possibly, and in my opinion, probably causing more problems by not doing first things first.

I'm guessing you may have had a fuel leak and your truck bled down while it sat for 3 days.

GUESSING.

Since it doesn't sound like you've bled things off correctly you're justy pissing in the wind.

Start by hardwiring the pump, running !/2 gallon of fuel into a container and bleeding the fuel filter. If you are getting air bubbles, you either have the bleeder open to far, a leakm in a fuel line or the fuel filter is not bled yet.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Walk away from it for a couple days.

There's been enough information given in this thread that you can get it running, you're just not following it.

Take a break, walk away.....
