So i got home from work turned off the truck. went out the next morning to go to work and it started, ran for about 20 seconds then started stumbling like it was running out of fuel. messed with it for about 10 min then had to get to work. i thought maybe i missed calculated and it was out of fuel. well i changed the fuel filter and no change. added 5 gal of fuel, no change. i am getting fuel to the ip by manually priming lp. no fuel out of the delivery valves. were do i go next? any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

 

Check at the fuel shut off solenoid to see if it is pulling all the way up when cranking and then staying up in the run position.

Blue wire from the battery feeds to it and can get corroded also contacts on the relay located by the cowl can go bad. It is rare but the fuel pump solenoid can go bad also check to see if it moves freely and not hung up with dirt or rust due to a torn boot.

 

i forgot to mention i wired it up. thanks for the reply.

Mods please delete thread. problem solved. Thanks

 

Please let us know what you found wrong so that everyone else here can learn from it.

We normally don't delete threads and if we did so very few lessons would be available here for people to gain knowledge from.

 

Yes you should post what you found. People are quick to ask for help, but some aren't as quick to offer help.

ended up being the overflow valve.

 

Thanks for the answer.

Did it not act up or run weird at all prior to this ? Such as low power or smoke ?

 

well its a stock auto, so compared to my lightly bombed 5 spd i used to have it always felt a little low on power haha.
