Another not starting post.

It didn't stand out to me it was just the one he had out and ready to go when I went to pick one up

 

[CUCVLOVER]

Oh. Ok
Good luck.

 

[txhunter27]

Thanks guys. I will let yall know how it goes.

 

[txhunter27]

Well I guess the guy I bought it from was drunk last night when I called because he said he never said I could swap it out... back to being stuck with this POS

 

[Rustyshackelford]

Wow. Don't get distraught, you'll get it going. A lot of CUCV love stories start this way.

 

[txhunter27]

I had a buddy come help me out today. We got all the line bled really good but still will only run on starting fluid.

 

[Al Harvey]

Once it's running, does it stay running good?

 

[txhunter27]

As soon as the starting fluid stops it stops

 

[Al Harvey]

Okay so it is a fuel issue. Did you crack the lines at the injectors? That will tell you if your getting fuel to the injectors. If nothing there, pull the line off the filter that runs to the injector pump and crank it to see if fuel is coming out. The line runs under the manifold to the injector pump and is a bit of a pain to get to underneath, but you can pull the line off at the filter and put you a small piece of hose on the nipple to see if fuel comes out when your cranking. I know it's frustrating, but check it step by step as the fuel is suppose to go to see where the fuel is making it to.

I have fuel at my injectors but it's just drips. Is that right?

 

[Al Harvey]

I believe there should be more then a drip, but honestly I haven't had to crack on a 6.2 yet. Hopefully someone who has done it can chime in shortly.

 

[Hasdrubal]

A drip is not sufficient, it should spray onto the inner fenders. When I bleed the injectors I put a piece of cardboard on each inner fender. this allows you to see the spray pattern better and you don't have to clean it all up later. Only after you have a good spray out or the injectors, should you tighten them. Have you pulled the glow plugs? Makes it easier on starter and batteries. It might take more than 5 10-15 second crank cycles to purge air from the injector lines and see fuel.

 

[txhunter27]

Well if it doesn't spray what would the problem be? Injection pump?

 

[txhunter27]

And are you saying take all the glow plugs out and crank it?

 

[cucvrus]

Sir you need to loosen the cap on the nozzles. It is a 19mm/3/4" wrench. Just crack them open a bit no need to take them off. Crank the engine until the nozzle caps appear wet. Tighten them back up and attempt to fire it up. I have run a few out of fuel I usually just crank them 30 seconds wait a bit and crank them gain. They start But that is on one i know runs. I take it you never heard this unit run before? You can take the glow plugs out toi make it crank over easier and get the fuel up quicker. Check all the glow plugs before you reinstall them.

 

[txhunter27]

I have tried bleeding all of the injector lines but I guess I will try again.

When you take the glow plugs out, it removes the compression from the engine. Making it easier on the starter and batteries.
It will also allow you to test for compression in each cylinder. Just a finger test to see that the cylinder has some compression.
You can test with a compression test gauge through the glow plug for an accurate test, but without the gauge you can determine the piston is moving and the valves are operating by holding your finger over the glow plug hole.

At this point I'm thinking it's something wrong with the ip which is not a cheap problem...

 

[cucvrus]

It is about a $300. problem.

 

[Hasdrubal]

Have you determined that power goes to the IP shut off solenoid when key is turned on? Does the solenoid function and is it connected while you're trying to bleed lines Its usually disconnected when bleeding low pressure side to fuel filter.
