Hi ,
Just did an oil change. New filter and 15 qts of non-synth. I went to start it, it ran for a few seconds then died. I trie to restart, it sputtered and died. Now it just cranks.
What's Up!?!?!
Thanks

 

I did pre-fill the filter, but maybe not enough?

 

i know on a 59 pickup with a electric fuel pump if it doesnt have oil pressure it will not start. i dont know if this helps any but good luck

Any ideas? Maybe air in the oil system, screwing with the HPOP?

 

Any oil leaks? Checking the level in the HPOP would be a good idea. You could have installed the filter without filling and it shouldn't do that.

How about the other basics? Plenty of fuel? Wait to start light come on like normal? Does the tach bounce while cranking? Does the oil pressure come up while cranking?

 

How do I check oil level in HPOP?

 

Wait... Could the fuel have gelled? It was above freezing though... And I had just driven a few hours ago

 

Did it pump all the oil out on the ground? Like possibly you double gasketed the oil filter and it just pumped the oil out past the flange on the filter?

 

Pull the inspection plug and look for motor oil within 1" of the top.

 

Its possible the bypass fell out during removal
of the filter.

yeah... I checked with a flashlight.. I've got about a gallon of oil in the driveway- no big deal. I guess I'll have to look closer tomorrow. Prolly something dumb.

 

Hey Quigley, what's the bypass?

Couple times when I change oil after that I have a lot off trouble I prefer read codes.What you think about this>diesel engine don't like change oil.

 

Want did you find out to be the problem ?
