crank but no start

When you did the buzz test was the buzz really loud of faint? It should be loud on all 8. My boss has an 02 that when I do the buzz test it has a loud buzz from only 2 or 3 of the 8 and it takes almost a minute of cranking with the block heater plugged in to start and it only runs on 3 for another 45 or so seconds till it warms the other injectors enough for the poppet valves to work and start running properly.

It kind of sounds like a HPO problem. I used an old high pressure dive gauge as a manual HPO tester. The dive hoses have a 7/16 fitting and the fittings in the cylinder head are 1/2 fine thread o-ring fitting. Dive shops carry an adapter fitting from 7/16 to 1/2 because some of the older regulators used 1/2. That would confirm that the sender is telling the ecm the right pressure. You have to have at least 500 psi to start and it runs around 500 at idle and up to 3000 at high throttle.

The best thing you can do is really get an understanding of how these high pressure oil fired injector systems work. The more you understand the operation of the system the more you will be able to make sense of the AE information. If you search this site you can find a lot of good information about the way they operate and diagnostic procedures for different problems and parts of the system. There are also downloadable trouble code sheets in the stickys which are very helpful.
