300 straight six 4.9
I'm having some starting issues and i'm stumped. I've done all my check points and i strill can't figure out whats going on with it.
This truck was a project truck until it was rear-ended and the owner gave up on it because it would not start. I'm getting fuel to the fuel rail, getting power to the injectors,both fuel pumps are working and it has a new fuel filter. It will not start unless i prime the intake and once it runs out of prime it will not start. I'm depending on this truck for my business and with it not running and not being able to afford a garage to look at it i"m stuck asking for help from this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Post in the pre-1997 section, and please list your truck's details - transmission, year, etc.

You have the old straight 6 in a pre-1997 truck. You posted in the V6 engine forum, the V6 replaced the straight 6 in 1997. The people who know the straight 6 are in the pre-1997 truck forum, scroll down the forum index page a bit farther and you will find it.

If you plan on making fun of someone by calling them dumb, at least spell "you're" correctly.

how much flow are you getting at the fuel rail? just because you have pressure doesnt mean you have alot of flow. also the pump could be clogged or the fuel filter could be clogged. other than that i dont really know what to tell ya.

no start
you could get a fuel pressure gauge and check how much pressure in fuel line. Check the fuel relays. What year is your truck?
