Alright, so I gutted the shut off solenoid so I don’t have to crank the engine..turn the key on and jump the lift pump and leave it…okay I was worried about burning out the lift pump…by the way where does all that air come from?

Thanks for not giving up on all my questions gentlemen .. I almost gave up while jumping the LP and looking down in the IP seemed like no fuel was rising, kept saying last try and when I meant last try I looked over and the fuel was at the top..so I put the outlet valve back in and cranked it...

Sometimes I overthink but this question just popped in my mind…should I take the fuel lines off the injectors ( they are already loose) or will the bad fuel be directed out the outlet?

I’ll try both of these this morning..if I get a good stream in the bottle and then take off the outlet fitting should I be looking for any parts falling out or ejecting…yes the picture does show a foaming substance. Thanks again

Thank all of you for the feedback..if I get it to start I’ll be doing a lot of upgrades…rebooted the brain somewhat and thought start at square one..put a pressure gauge at the T and got about 6 pounds so I think I can eliminate the LP and OPS …cranked it a few more times and nothing at the...

Thanks guys I’ll try it in the morning

I think I need to reboot my brain overnight…the coil spring in the picture below the solenoid..was under the solenoid in the IP …but tomorrow I was going to get a fuel pressure gauge to see if I am getting enough pressure to the IP …can I hook the gauge up to the T valve and get a reading?

I took the plunger off the fuel cutoff solenoid and there was a large spring in the well…is that supposed to be there?

Thank you so much jr I didn’t want to get deeper into more trouble…sorry to say I was feeling a little played…I often play the old age and hs dropout thing but in the past had fractured skull from motorcycle accident and a couple concussions so my comprehension takes a little time..but anyhow...

I’ve been reading a lot of threads on this and ran across one that mentioned if the truck wasn’t run in a while that the IP pump could be stuck and trying compressed air into the fuel outlet might free it up…would it be a good idea to shoot PB blaster in the outlet and let it sit?… or could I...

Okay, so sometimes I’m dense, do I unscrew it and leave it plugged in and try to start it…when I screw it in I think I will have to unplug it and if it keeps running is that like a runaway and I should take a pliers to the return line?

Good question …when I remove it the fuel is level to the opening, I never tried cranking it with the solenoid removed

Update before the rain…so this morning I plugged in the LP went and added 8 gallons of fuel,loosened all injector fuel lines,bled my LP, removed my do solenoid and didn’t have help so I turned ignition on and flashed it by touching the negative cable to battery and it sucker the plunger in but...

🍺🍻Thank You Gentlemen

Roger that…not to firmilar with probing electric but can pull the solenoid and eyewitness if it moves stupid question but I should make sure it’s connected to electric…I can reach all injectors and it’s good to know to move the injector lines…had them loose before but never checked if the fuel...

I’m having a few beers to try and get lucky and forget…get a fresh start tomorrow…the lift pump looks pretty old…does pump but maybe not enough and not sure how much fuel is in the tank the gauge is scheey maybe I’ll put 5-10 gallons of fuel in tomorrow

I’m pumping fuel to the IP..disconnected at the IP and fuel pumped into a 2L jug and then took out the cut off solenoid and screwed it halfway in and still didn’t start so I thought I would see if the IP was sucking fuel in

I thought I was checking to see if the IP was functioning

Not sure what I’m doing…I thought 💭 it was not to use the LP and siphon straight into the IP…I was thinking 🤔 putting siphon hose directly into the injection pump intake and another to the return and cranking the engine..shoot old age and high school dropout

I must not be understanding right…I unplugged the L P and hooked up a 5/16 to the inlet and 1/4 to the return and hung 1/2gallon of fuel to my hood release and turned the key a few times but didn’t get the fuel to siphon a few times the siphon hose came out of the fuel…am I supposed to manually...
