HELP occasional start - air in lines???
I think this is my first post on here but I'm pretty active on CF.
Anyway I resealed my AFC (same procedure as 366 install) and put my stock fuel pin back in over the weekend and have had a lot of trouble once I got it back together.
When we first got the top on the pump the truck started RIGHT UP idle set perfectly then (as we expected) it died cause we had done no bleeding. But it idled for at least a couple minutes before that without me getting on throttle or anything. So we bled it a bit and it started again then coughed and died (like there was air) and then for hours it was just cranking with weak flow at the injectors.
Late last night I noticed my fuel screw was bottomed out so I backed it off and STARTS RIGHT UP idle was a little low but I kept it running for a good two minutes with no coughs or anything. SO started turning the fuel screw back up a half turn at a time and it sounded better and better. I was expecting to hit runaway soon when all of a sudden I was bottomed out. Never hit that before today. And then what do you know truck won't start again. Hasn't started since and there's definitely air in the lines. DO I just keep bleeding to the injectors?
MY HOUSE IS SELLING TODAY and my truck is sitting in the street now I'm supposed to be driving it back down south on monday so that's why this is so urgent I NEED IT MOVING ASAP!!! Please help

Another thing I may be getting air before my pump. I can never tell when air comes out of the bleed screw above filter no bubbles or anything but intermittently throughout this process I'd crack the nut below throttle linkage where the fuel goes into the VE and almost EVERY time there would be bubble galore coming out of there.... I've checked every fitting from there all the way back to the first filter and everything is tight - all washers are there - no fuel leaking anywhere. ANd we've already bled that a million times....
