Help with codes thrown p1688 and p0251
I have a 98.5 24v work truck and when I got in my truck this am and went about 1/2 a mile and the truck died, I got my smarty and it read p1688 internal fuel injection pump controller failure, and P0251 injection pump fuel metering control "A" Ma. I am guessing the the vp44 pump is going out, but when you turn the key on and try to start it it will turn over but not fire off. and then you can leave the key on and still hear the lift pump and i guess it is the vp44 pump by the fuel filter still humming. I just dont want to drop 1500 on a vp44 pump if it is not the problem. HELP
