No Start
When i went out to start the truck the other day it wouldn't start for anything. I cranked and cranked and got nothing. Thought the batteries may be low since it sits all week while I am at school, charged them up and still no start. It seems to crank plenty fast since it has a new aftermarket starter. No check eng light, no codes either. could it be the HPOP draining while it sits all week? Same thing happened last week, but it eventully it fired up and ran fine all weekend. it never had this problem before(but it was driven regularly). The truck is also quite a dog and always has been. How do i check the HPOP? Any help would be great.

Watch your battery voltage. I had bad batteries a couple years back. The motor would crank all day and sound like it was cranking fine. However, If the voltage drops to low(11 volts I think) the computer won't ever fire the injectors. Just a thought. Good luck.
Edit:watch for white smoke. If you see white smoke you are getting fuel and the glow plug system is probably the problem. No white smoke and you are not getting fuel for some reason.

a typical cranking drop is 10 volts, and the scan tool will shut off at 9 volts. the pcm will still run on a dying battery down to 7-8 volts, been there

GP's should be good, did them and valve covers this time last year. (This site helped me there too) I didn't try plugging in either though. I'll check the voltage drop on the batts too. NO white smoke either, i checked that and figured something was allowing fuel or the injectors to fire. The IDM is brand new, maybe two weeks old, so that should be good. I will check the HPOP. If its low I should just fill it up to 1/4 inch below plug? If it is leaking whats my next step?
Thanks for all the help guys!
I'll let you know what I find, I'm sure I will need some more help.
