Ordered the "fast start" glow plugs and waiting for them to come in... I plan to spend my off day tomorrow bleeding the injectors while the glow plugs are out so the starter wont eat the batteries as bad, then go to my 86 4x4 burb 6.2 and flush the trans on it... Sure is nice to relax on an off day.

 

it is definitely a fuel issue crack the fuel lines to the injectors and fire that puppy up

 

Get er going shorty??

 

Whats The Current Status Of this Situation?

 

I got the glow plugs in, but during its sitting time of a week or so, the driver's side battery took a dive so I am gonna work on it some this sunday after I get a new battery.

 

Sounds good!!

 

One other thing you can try, is buy a fuel pump blank kit and toss the mechanical away, and install and electric fuel pump.

 

Any updates??

 

yes!!!

A little run down, Replaced lift pump, rubber lines on lift pump, primary and secondary filters and rubber line on primary, replaced glow plugs, replaced both batteries and all cables, brand new "fast" start glow plugs, EGR deleted. blocked off hole in filter housing from egr hose also.

Pressured system up, and bleed injectors, runs like a top for about a minute, then peters out.

Dropped fuel tank, checked sending unit and pick up tube, replaced ALL rubber lines feed in & out of tank and clamps, (forgot to plug sending unit back in so fuel gauge not working now...)

Pressured tank and bleed injectors, fired up and ran like a top.... for a minute or so, then petered out.... EXACTLY the same.

I found one last rubber line in the fuel system that was between the main line that runs from the tank to the primary fuel filter right where the space from frame to body is... what a PITA to get to aswell... Replaced that line and clamps.


Pressured up the system and bleed the injectors and she fired RIGHT up like a top and idled perfectly, even went through its warm up process and then idled down to normal once it was warm... which it hasn't done in a month or so. After it ran like a top and starts perfectly too, I looked at the hose and it had a HUGE crak right were it made the turn up to go to the filter... SO AFTER ALL this... it was a cracked fuel line that I couldn't see.

Thanks for everyone and the helping hands I had in getting it started, I can now finally come home after 14 hr work day and rest....

 

Sweet deal!! If the problem should return, you can reopen the thread or start a new one.
