no start !!!!!!!!!!!
allright here goes, its a 1988 f-150 shortbed ,speed density stock 302,dual tanks. the truck sat for a year and a half , i put new headgaskets and intake manifold gaskets on it, had to cut the lines to get them off the fuel rail , didnt have a reemoval tool for the connectors ,yes , they are on the right nipples on the fuel rail
drained the tanks out , put new gas in , truck cranks and cranks and cranks, but no start, how long would it take for the lines to fill and pressurize???
plus , i dont hear any fuel pump noise at all , ive never had a fuel injected vehicle that i couldnt hear the pumps prime or pressurize in
so i need to check stuff like the fuses, relays , and all that
i found the fuel pump cutoff switch , its like its supposed to be, and the only fuse i can find in the fuse box is one that says external tank selector , or something to that effect.
so if you know where the fuse is or the relays , pleeeeeeeeeze help , im bout to go postal!!!!!!!!!!!
