Default injecter pump not pumping

98 chevy 6.5 had a hard start problem and ran rough till it warmed up, the problem just kept getting worse till it just stalled, while running rough took it to the dealership they had me change the lift pump,and fuel shut off. Since then had the fuel injecter pump tested twice, changed the ignition,oil sending unit, had it hooked to another computer and showed no faults, as of now have fuel to the pump but not comming out

OK.......I guess start at the discharge of the lift pump and move forward from there till you have all the air out

so yer primed right up to the inlet of the injection pump then??

if this is the case I say get the lift pump running and then turn the motor over so the injection pump has opertunity to pick up the fuel....... once yer internal pump gets a prime on the fuel it should start delivery to the injectors.................just make sure you have loose lines at the injectors or the discharge of the IP when you do this
