if so what did you do or what was it??

I am leaving for a road trip fill up the tank, forget something, drive back maybe 5miles, turn back around, head out goin up a hill. kerplunk kerplunk, loss of power engine wont run in 5th put it in a low gear, it started jerking like power was on and off. To me it felt like fuel cut out? what you guys think.

 

It was fine right up until you put fuel in it?

 

Change the fuel filter before you panic.

 

why on earth did you fill it with gasoline? just a guess........

 

Good advice above. In addition, I'd check fuel pressure, and also inspect the connection on the shutdown solenoid- I've seen lots of problems with that.

 

I am posotive i was at the diesel pump @ 7 eleven. Thats the only place i can get diesel in a 45 mile radius

 

Shutdown solenoid???? where might i find that.. Remember guys i am a gasoline engine tech and this would be my first diesel engine so i need to locate the major components on this baby...

 

water in fuel?

 

There's a wire going to a solenoid almost directly above where the high pressure injection lines come out of the pump...actually, on your 93, there may be two wires going to that solenoid. In any event, they are just crimp-on female spade connectors. Sometimes the wire breaks loose of the spade, sometimes the whole thing slips off the solenoid due to a tired out spade. FYI, there's also a cold advance solenoid on the side of the pump closest to the driver-side fenderwell...that's not the one you're looking for.
Hope this helps!

Thanks ... I will check it out. I was on my way to jersey from virginia to pick up a enclosed race car hauler and this kinda ruined the day so i am not very motivated to go outside and fix it.

 

Light aint on and i tried draining and nothing came out.. a couple drips maybe??? or maybe that 7 eleven diesel is really bad stuff.

 

Change the fuel filter.

 

more than a couple of drips should come out of the fuel filter if you open that bottom valve, either the filter is clogged or the fuel pump went out, although thats seems unlikley it is possible.

 

I would change the filter, if you dont than atleast hit the drain for just a second while its running, it should dump lots of fuel when running.

 

problem is. it doesnt start. it does crank but no start so i just cant see how that could be the filter. But we shall see.
