got a problem boys and was wondering what u thought. one of my room mates unpluged my truck but i neaded to get to school so tried to start it but no go so i plugged it in and left it for the day then tried to start it the next day and all it does is turn over. it was running fine and had no problems when i parked it and it only sat over night since it was last running. it's almost as if it's not getting any fuel iv tried a couple times but still no go. was was wondering if u guys had any ideas on what might be wrong any advice would be great thanks:thumbsup:

You could have gelled fuel :confused013:

Could be gelled, It's been pretty cold. Get some additive. Plug it back in for a few hours, get some ether, open your intake, spray a little in then try to start it. ray:

No Ether. What temp are you at? If its cold, get some PS or some 911 fuel treatment and crack the fuel canister and pour it in, then treat the fuel tank...cycle the key a few times then crank!

 

[BigTurboCumminsTruck]

DON'T use ether on a modern diesel

 

[razocow]

also replace the fuel filter just to be safe, and do not use ether!

 

[sulfurburner]

why no ether?

 

[macko300exc]

Ether has the potential to explode in the intake when it comes incontact with the grid heater. if you are gonna ever use either, disable the gridheater by removing the relays. Other than having the grid heater either will no hurt anything.

haha ya don't worry either never was gonna cross my mind lol didn't feel like having any predetination going on. but thanx for the advice gives me a place to start anyways

 

[Tyrel11]

If you plug in your truck for a few hours before you try this like I said, your grid won't heat. The temp sensor in the block tells the system its warm.... I have had to do this for the last week because I have several injectors failing to fire at start up without any help and my new ones haven't arived yet!

 

[sulfurburner]

makes sense, I've got a dummy grid heater block in mine. also, almost every time I replace the fuel filter in mine and a buddies 24 valve we have to hit it w/ ether just a little to get it to fire. is there something that we're doin wrong? sorry for the threadjack

 

[macko300exc]

when you change the fuel filter, you should fill the boul/ filter with fuel, or crank the engine for a second and let the lift pump prime the system

 

[wesleydax]

when you try and crank it, is it spinning fast enough? are batteries good and charged, if you have tried cranking several times you may have pulled them down, if its not spinning fast enough you can heat it all day and it may not start. just my two cents worth
