Well this is not my thing, I've got myself a 1st gen. My buddy has got a newer second gen. Its a 24v 3500. It isn't starting very well.....and when it starts it wont rev up or stay running. I was thinking it is the lift pump he thinks it is a eletrical problem. Its not the fuel filter so you can rule that out. Got any Ideas for him?

Thanks Coop

He needs to read his codes which will show if the VP pump is going bad. That would be his first step though, read the codes.

as I said I am new to this whole computer controled engine. When you say codes do you mean hookin it up to a computer and looking at the read out? Or do you mean jumpin a fuse and counting the amount of dash lights?

Thanks Cooper

If it's a 2000 on up, he can turn the ignition key on/off/on/off/on (without starting, just to "on") and the codes will read out in the odometer window.

If it's a 1998.5 or 1999, he'll have to have it hooked to a scan tool to retrieve the codes.
