Been gone from the forum awhile. How's everyone doing? Anyway I have an 06 that has a long crank first thing even after sitting for 30 min. Ficm is good, batteries are good. It is fuel related. Fuel bowl drains back down after a few min. No external leaks that I can see. Changed regulator and check valve. Thinking maybe pump is letting it leak back down. What's your thoughts??

 

Hope you've been well.
Does the upper filter housing fill up fast?

 

Yea it fills up fast. Just drains back down. Yea I am cool. Just a lot of stuff going on.

 

Sounds like it must be the pump. You have a fuel pressure gauge?

 

Yea has good pressure. Kind of stumping me. Thought maybe something in the pump letting it bleed back. But thought I would ask for suggestions.

 

Hello Eric long time Bud, Tried the Bubble test? I'm working on a few Hours sleep deprivation so the O'l brain is slow

 

Yea did the bubble test. Passed. How are you doing?

 

Doing good lot's O work . drain the water sep and got the right filters in there?

 

Yup yup. All good there.

 

well Might have to put air test to the Menu don't think it's fuel , st fitting branch tube Injector , crap now my Brain is starting to wake up

 

Lol. Might as well wake up before you need to get to sleep. Pretty sure it's fuel related. Fuel bowl shouldn't be draining back down.

 

Working a Night shift , What did you come up with ?

 

I haven't had time to work on it. Had to finish painting my dad's f150 and put the 05 font end on the 03 excursion.

 

Nice looking Ride is that Part of the Fleet.

 

Lol. Yea I guess. Only have a 06 and this 03 right now. Only has 90k miles. Plan on getting a 04 with 44k miles and a 05 KR with 110k miles this week. By the way it was the hpop reservoir leaking down on the long crank. Plan on fixing it today.
