Quit Running on freeway!! PLZ Help!!
Heya!
I was Cruising down the freeway and the truck quit running!! i was luck to be in slow lane and coasted off the road.
Last time this happened, i changed the fuel filter, and it worked again.
this time, new filter (fuel added to it), fuel does shoot out the valve when cranking (as it should) so there is presure... i drained the batteries twice, still wont kick over.. (curently charging again)... swithched fuel tanks, same problem...
any help would be REALLYYY great!!
thankx!!!
its an 82 F-250 4x4 6.9 L A/T 3sp

PLC= one is almost empty, but i was running on the one about 1/4 full.... watcha thinkin??
buckford: I do get the clicking sound, there is fuel at the injectors (i tiny drop came out while cranking) i checked 5 of them - same thing, fuel at the them.
i tried using either, it drasticly sped up and almost started, but i think it was just burning the fluid... still no start

Does your glow plug light come on and does your glow plugs work. My truck quit on me and would crank but would not start. It turned out that the fusible link went and cut all the power to allow the engine to run. Thats what i would check if you have no power going to your injectors also cheack to see if your injector pump gets power.

mdg..... I think the low fuel and undercharged batteries may be the problem now. Continuous cranking can burn up the starter really quickly, if you can count the RPMs of the engine during a start it's too slow.........

You might have air in the system try bleeding it from the valve on the fuel filter. Have somebody hold in the valve with something, while you crank it over. Also there should be a pretty good spray of fuel if not then there is something wrong with your fule pump.
