Well worked on her all weekend but haven't gotten to fire it up. Not too far away! Found out the hard way my airtanks were mounted to high. Was hitting the cab, so had to lower them. Then it was an onslaught of wiring and brakelines. AC is hooked up, tranny coolant lines, and many other things. But it's back to work in the morning. The list is getting smaller!!

 

Sounds like a good offer but my funds are tied up! Damn economy

 

This is where the air tank was hitting the cab


And the air tank.. I didnt have to drop it but maybe 1/4 of an inch.

 

Well gentlemen... i need some serious help.. She cranks but no fuel. Checked all the way up to the connection on the drivers front fender.. No juice. But there is juce at the main fusebox. HELP!

Where is pat when you need him

 

well if u got power at the fuse block im assuming leaving the fuse to then check relay fuel interia switch how ever u spell it if those two are ok then trace ur wire till u find a open

 

Yes! got my fuel pump to work. Primed the system.. aaaannnnnndddddddd nothing.. wont hit. Ive got power to my coils and injectors.. humm.. odd

 

ok next easiest things to check see if ur crank sensor hooked up along with cam sensors if they are plugged up check power and ground u know

 

been there before with my brother's truck....double check all your grounds..

 

Argh.. this is really starting to deter me.. Ive checked everything i can. All grounds are good.. plenty of fuel pressure.. Coils accually have juice going to them.. Im clueless.

 

IIRC coils/injectors are grounded by the PCM

 

Well i found another ground wire! but it wasnt the trick It just grounded the motor to the frame.

If its grounded by the PCM.. ive attached and checked every ground wire that comes out of it. Im clueless

 

New update.. It appears that i got way ahead of myself. It seems that i still have a fuel problem. I have spark. and 45 psi fuel pressure with the key on.. 35 while cranking.. Next step is to check the injectors. I did get it to run with starting fluid.. Yes yes i know.. bad.

Isnt troubleshooting fun kids?

 

YAHOOO almost there!

Would have ran it longer.. but seeing that there is no water in it.. not a good idea.

Shes probably just on 4 cylinders.. pulled the vacume to the regulator and it probably just got some air in the system!

AND WOW ITS LOUD... probably going to have to change that

 

It's alive! Keep plugging away, man.

 

sounds like improvement
