so i fixed all my injectors and had put a used IP on my truck a while ago. now that i fixed the injectors it doesnt like to start. could it be that the pump is going out and i need to get a new one. if so does anyone know where i can get one or atleast a re-man for a good price most of the ones i have been looking at want at least 450 for one and the price goes up that and does anyone have a turbo kit they would be willing to sell

Well, after having replaced the injectors and the fuel pump, i think what you should be worried about is air intrusion, you disconnected a bunch of lines and reconnected them. I would just check and make really good sure that you do not have any leaks any where, because if you do that would be a big reason as to why it would be struggling to start.

okay well maybe i have more issues than i think i do. after it sits idling for about 20-30 mins i touch the gas and it seems to suck in a huge amount of air. fuel line problem on that one i know also, when i do get it going and started it only seems to want to start after i have bump started it. and then it only seems to restart when its toasty warm after that. also i think i maybe might have an issue with the thing over heating. my last two trucks never seemed to do this but this one generally likes to keep the needle on the thermastat around the m to the a on the normal. also if this thing is or does have a cavitation issue on it then how and what are the signs of this happening? not to mention i had attempted to fix my injectors by building my own tester and shim them they are not new new and yes they are a mixture of codes but at the same time they are all with-in the same psi range of 1700 - 1900. i dont know if they are supposed to be that high and would really like to know if thats the recomended firing pressure! it was something that i had read of another site. i could really use some feed back on what to do here because im about to give up and take my **** out of it and sell it to some idiot who wants to buy it? and then just buy me a new 7.3 this truck seems to be too much work any more in trying all that i am to get the dam thing going and running right! so any and all comments and help and what ever will be greatly appreciated!

on a new note i went threw and clipped and redone all fuel lines just barely mainly got rid of some huge loops and long travel time hose like the water fuel seporator lines that i just connected together and also the return line on the lift pump that for some reason lord knows why it was doing a circle in a hose the size of a bean can but is not just bolted right too it. and also if anyone has any idea of where i can get the o-rings for the fuel connectors on the tanks and the tank switch it would be nice my rear tank is leaking i think and switch also maybe but i would rather just replace them all! save time
