diesel fuel diagnostic for no start condition.

magnol,

Is the pump timed?

Crack open an injector line while the engine is crankin to see if the FSS (Fuel Shutoff Solenoid), is allowing fuel to travel through the injector pump. Even if your test light shows voltage to the FSS it still might not be opening. You should have about 5 PSI at the fuel filter when you crank the engine, and be gettin at least 1/3 of a pint of fuel in 10 seconds of cranking. Hook all the fuel lines back up, then remove the schrader valve from the filter bleed valve, and connect a pressure gauge for a test. What’s the PSI? Now, remove the gauge from the hose, and use the hose to route the fuel into a container for the above volume test. Here’s a helpful link.

i,ll try these steps.. i am getting fuel at the injector lines when i bleed the system. i know i am getting good pressure from the pickup pump from the fuel tank, when i take the line off of the filter assy it blows fuel all the way across the engine compartment.
