Is the primer actually moving fuel?

I've only messed with these a little, hopefully someone will help out here if I'm wrong.

The truck will turn over, just not fire?

Do you have fuel to the injectors?

The first thing to check is to see if the fuel solenoid is pulling up. Read this: Joe G's fuel system writeup

Turn on the Key, Pull up on the Fuel Shutdown Solenoid till it "locks" then try to start the truck without turning off the key.
I have been doing this for about a week until I found the loose connection.

And the NUT behind the wheel

cummins916 · 07-13-2008, 09:43 PM

pborger · 07-14-2008, 02:54 PM
