Fuel line replacement now stalling
Well I’m back again. One of my high pressure fuel lines had a hole in it and was leaking bad. It was the line from the pressure regulator on the side of the fuel bowl to the drivers side front of the head. I changed the line today and on the drive home it stalled out.Didn’t hiccup or anything, just shut off and now I can’t get it to start at all, just cranks but no start. It was running totally fine before the hole in my old fuel line so I am very confused. I’m thinking maybe there’s air in the system? Is there a way for me to bleed the fuel system? Anyway, any help would be great.
Thank You,
Christian

I also ran the truck very low on fuel on the way home today, and that’s when it shut off, but it literally just shut down at a red light like I turned the truck off, I put some fuel in it but still no start. That’s why I was asking if there’s a way to bleed the system

If you are rocking mechanical fuel system, you can fill the fuel filter bowl with some fuel to help prime it faster. It will take some decent cranking if ran stone dry. Fill up the tank with at least 5-10 gallons of No2, crank on and off for 10-15 second intervals. Give the starter some time to cool down. I would probably give it one minute at least, this also helps the batteries come back some...jump it with another vehicle if possible. Plugging it in will help crank faster too, less dependent upon glow plugs and warmer oil. Hell, if plugged in for a few hours, just disconnect the glow plugs.
The dually did same thing, blew out the driver soft line. Jizzed fuel all over the rental behind me. I bought a new set from Riffraff and keep a spare set in the truck now, just in case.
Do not fret, guys on this board will help you out!

So it started right up when I cranked it this morning and ran totally fine, I turned it off to run in a store and when I came back out same thing again, won’t start just continuous cranking but no fire. This is my only vehicle so any help would be great. It is just so weird to me that it runs great while it’s on then all the sudden like a light switch goes off and it won’t fire...

Is your IPR loose? Tried disconnecting the ICP? Sensors can act up depending upon temperature. What about your crank sensor?

i tried to unplug the ICP, didn’t work, IPR is tight. I think I’m going to try to replace the Crank sensor even though I just replaced it last year

i cannot see the IPR well because of the fuel bowl being in the way, I would have to remove the fuel bowl first. I took the IPR out last year and cleaned it then put it all back. No the check engine light is not on.

No no, the wiring to the IPR. If the circuit goes open, the truck will not run.
I recall five wires on that harness in total. I removed all that crap, let me look for my post upon it.

So it started again this morning, let it idle for about 35-40 minutes and then I just heard it shut off when I was inside. Came back out to start it and it started but it was a rough start. I have it running again right now but every time I turn it off it cranks for like 5 seconds and slowly starts to run. This thing is usually turn key and boom right up. It seems to stalk out when it warmed up and runs fine when it’s cold

Just died again and now won’t fire just cranking again, wiring to the IPR seems fine to me. I’m so lost with this thing it runs amazing and then a return line has a hole in it then all the sudden it s.... the bed. Just makes no sense
