I am totally lost with this one.
Went into town to get some errands done. Pickup starts fine and runs great everywhere we stop. Our last stop, I shut er down, and go in for a couple minutes, come out and it cranks, tries to light but never does. Normally the dash will go through it's check and the "check engine" and "security" lights come on. When it's acting up, nothing. Only the glow plug light for a micro-second, flash. I tried to pump the hand pump and it gets hard but won't hold pressure. CTS3 reads 4.930 at normal idle and 2.0XX at cold start. When this was going on it was reading anywhere from 1.000 to 1.200. After hand pumping and walking back around to the drivers seat, no change in the pressure. Temp on the fuel return was at 118*f and after 45 minutes was at 122*f. No codes came up, at all.
Sat in the parking lot for 45 minutes and got it to light after pumping the hand pump and holding my foot to the floor. I noticed the gash lights "check engine" came on. After it lit up and was running, the "security" light stayed on. Drove home the 25 miles and ran great. Fuel pressure was at 1.430 idle and good cruising. Sitting in driveway, fuel temp was at 118*f. Shut it down, waited about 5 minutes for heat soak and it fired right up, like nothing ever was amiss.
This is the third time this has happened. Yesterday, I got suckered into pulling my truck and trailer with our tractor on the back, for the FFA in a parade. Never an issue, the whole time.
Anybody ever hear of this type of problem, and can offer any kind of help?
