I have buy one truck. F250 1993 7.3 IDI Turbo. 4x4 manual transmission super cab, Yesterday i drive my truck to work 7 miles is was okay the engine. After work i start the truck i let warm up. Then when i put the first gear and i driving in the parking lot when i press the gas pedal. The engine cut off. I restart the engine the engine cut off again. Weird think is was start good and idle okay. The problem cutt off is do when i press the gas pedal. Diesel i had half tank i use the rear gas tank. I stop in gas station i fill up. But the problem not stop. Until i come home i restart the engine more than 20 times. some times with the starter some times i let the clutch and start is stick shift. The truck i have buy used i take in one mechanic put new oil and fix one diesel leak and put new fuel filter. For the truck i pay $3500. Is good deal? I know the truck need glow plugs needs shocks tires. The 4x4 need work the ujoints had play in the driver side. That i look my self needs. The mechanic i take my truck never tell me what need my truck give me estimate. I live in Alanta GA morrow area do you know any mechanic work in diesel trucks? And what do you think do this cut off in my engine. My diesel truck is my first. I know is old 1993. Do you think is worth spent money try fix that truck or is not worth is old truck?

 

Do you have the block mounted mechanical fuel pump or an electric fuel pump? There have been posts re how much fuel pumps into a cup for a few seconds cranking, I think it is something like 1/3 pint in 10 or 15 seconds, from a mechanical pump. You can get air seeping in to fuel supply and return lines without seeing dampness from fuel leaking. Cost of simple repairs is worth bearing, don't lose heart too early.
Also you have started two thread on what appears to be similar issues.
Be methodical, make sure you are getting fuel and read the posts in blue about air intrusion return lines at the to of the page. They are very helpful.

 

i am not sure but i think my truck have mechanical pump.I am not lose heart too early, is my first diesel truck and because the engine sounds like tractor and i feel my truck even is run is not really run as is should. that i feel too need some minor adjust. Or simple repairs as you say. I try found diesel mechanic in my area. Thank you for the answer. I do tried find dually diesel truck 4x4 with manual transmission. But i know is hard to find and no have the money for that truck now. When i see my truck i deside to buy. I do like drive stick shift. One i wish is be crew cab that trucks looks much better. But my truck have the super cab, But i am okay with that. I do feel when is be done that simple repairs. My truck is go run like new.
