truck died in august, mech fuel pump was bad so was the starter. just fixed it today, jan 1st, mech fuel pump was broke and had no fuel pressure at the shrader valve now it has fuel at the shrader valve, but still won't start, i have no smoke from the tail pipe, its 20 degrees still has summer fuel no additives, has 1/4 tank, ive had the charger on all day and block heater for bout 2 hrs been trying it every 20 min or so, still nothing, any ideas?

 

Is the fuel bowl full? Oil full? Tach moving while cranking?

 

fuel bowls full, full of oil, hpop oil full, tachs moving a bit, has a new cps in it, oil change 1000 miles ago, fuel filter 1000 miles ago

 

Be careful cranking too long. The starter will overheat. No more than 30 seconds and let it sit for 2 minutes to cool.
Are you sure everything went back together right? No air leaks? No fuel leaks?

 

only cranking 15 sec at a time. everything went together good, no leaks, it builds fuel pressure at the schraddr valve which it didn't do before, could it be too cold for the oil to fire the injectors?

 

ozzy, know what the fuel pressure is, or just opened the valve ?

 

As clod as it is I would definately make sure the batts have a good full charge. I could be wrong but its just a suggestion, check the voltage at your GPR. If it is good. Check the glow plugs to see if they are good. In cold weather like you going thru it could be a couple bad glow plugs.

 

not sure of pressure, just opened the valve

 

shouldn't i still be getting smoke from the tailpipe? good voltage at the batterys, spins over fast. glow plug system is screwed up, the previos owner has a toggle hooked up along with the glow plug system

 

Yep, If your getting fuel you should be smoking from the exhaust. Did you get all the wiring plugged back together after having the fuel bowl out? ICP etc

 

never removed the fuel bowl. just unbolted and tipped it forward. i'll check tommarrow when its light to see if something is unplugged on ( the fuel bowl?) i know the heaters unplugged

 

Ditto on checking the connection of the electrical plug (the one on the side of the filter housing, next to the GPR), if it is loose or not connected the engine will not start.

 

Are you getting a WTS light?...

 

Check HPOP oil level. If the oil is not there to push the fuel out of the injectors, then the fuel pressure won't matter.
Also crack open one of the plugs on the oil pressure rail and see if you are getting oil moving out when you crank. My bet is that after sitting that long you have an oil issue.
Also verify the screen in the fuel bowl. You may have had an algae or something growing in there over the past few months and might now be getting enough fuel flow.

 

yes have a wait to start light, oil in hpop is full, will check the conections and open an oil line, i was guessing an oil prob, its cold pulled the dipstick and its like honey. if the oil is too thick will it not fire the injectors? and if i plug in the block heater will it warm the oil in the injectors to allow it to flow?
