    Not Starting

    What ever happened with yours. I put in new fuel tank, sending unit, fuel pump, injectors, and a new IP. And i had the same thing as you, ran for 2 days and now wont start. Cant figure it out.

    Glow plug life span?

    My 60g's ran good at first, now after only 3 months they are toast. Not swollen, just dont get hot. It was rough idle yesterday and and then wouldnt start with no wait light coming on. What does that indicate? ETA; did a couple of tests from the sticky FAQ, its the controller card, not the glow...

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    Ok so your right again. Pulled two glow plugs, put jumper cable on them from battery, they do not get hot. Put meter on cable 12 volts, metal tab on glow plug 12 volts, but it does not get hot. Also even new GPR-7 (BWD) is not working right. 12 volts at hot wire on top, nothing on 2 small...

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    Ok so the arm on this new pump doesnt need to be attached at the bottom. The IP is back in again. The truck is running.... sort of. I primed all the fuel lines with a siphon pump and a can of fuel before i put the IP back in. Primed the filter again. New IP back in. 4, 4 second cranks and the...

    IP install question?

    I got this beast in. It wasnt getting fuel to the injectors. I looked down and noticed the rocker arm (not sure what its called) that is on the vacuum side was not attached at the bottom. I swore my original was. But of course since i got the new one in and thought it was right, i have already...

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    Ian, I've got fuel all the way to the filter. And most likely after the filter. I used a siphon pump on the in line at the fuel filter and pulled fuel to it. The filter is full. I pulled the out line on it and i can see fuel in the out line going to the pump. I cracked all the injector lines and...

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    I've got fuel at the in line to fuel filter and the filter is full of fuel when i spin it off. I cracked an injector line and no fuel there though, what am i missing? If the fast idle solenoid was bad would that keep it from starting?

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    Truck shutting off after driving/ return valve?

    I unscrewed my fuel filter and fuel came out everywhere. I have not checked for fuel at the injectors. Im so frustrated im not thinking right. I didnt even think of that. If I have no fuel at injectors then is it the IP? I actually hope so as I have a new one along with new injectors arriving...
