Re: hard start/ no start question
The problem that you have had for months and the problem now are most likely the same problem.......You will save a lot of time and money doing these things first...............
First, remove the fuel tank top.........
disconnect the fuel line at the lift pump (on the tank side)........blow compressed air back through the line to the tank........replace all of the rubber parts of the fuel line with new hose and screw clamps.......remove the fuel filter (replace if not new) fill it will diesel or Diesel Kleen if you wish........it will "soak in", so keep refilling until it just will not take any more...........now find the fuel return line that connects to the fuel filter and the injector return lines, then I want you to cut the return line between the filter and the injectors in two......put a bolt or what ever with a clamps on both ends.............(as cdnsarguy suggested)....clean the check valve on the IP return.....install the fuel filter...........disconnect the hot wire to the fuel solenoid......turn the engine over a few times allowing pressure to build in the filter......open the schrader valve........repeat until a steady stream of fuel comes out....with nice pressure behind it....... connect the hot wire and start the engine.......allow a couple of minutes for the engine to "purge" itself
then report any change.......good or bad..........
Do not assume the IP is bad until the above is done and a few other test are done.............
