You say that you had a new Injection pump put in but you do not mention the lift pump that feeds the injection pump. The lift pump is the weak link that causes the injection pump to starve for fuel and go out.

You need to check the lift pump and see what kind of fuel pressure you have... and by the way...there is NO "G" in Cummins

I Forgot to mention that i also replaced the lift pump I think i found the problem i had air in my system i found a injector that was a little loose and my drain valve was not all the way locked down so i am assuming somewhere in between the 2 i was sucking in some air. I am hoping this is my problem. It is Up And Running Now thank you very much.
