VE Pump Won't Idle.
 
Driving down to Ohio. getting off the highway with my foot off the throttle..engine was wanting to stall. I got it shut down at a gas station when I started it back up it wouldn't idle but runs smooth off idle... fuel filter was changed couple thousand miles ago. HELP

make sure the lift pump is holding prime and check the fuel filter again......

I dont know anything about VE's - but how about rubber fuel lines Logan? This is a common problem on P-7100's.

I replaced the lift pump a couple months again not even 5 thousand miles on it...I replace the filter... I was told over time the springs in the throttle linkage gets stretched so I adjusted the idle and it seems to idle and go down the road fine. sounds like its idling where it was before I think...I dont have a tach.

I think its fixed

DieselfreakMI 06-09-2008 12:44 PM

A good rule of thumb on the VE's to get the idle close is turn it up untill th emirriors stop shakeing. Thats about 750 RPM... Always been close for me.
