No Start / Fuel Issue
No Start / Fuel Issue
I drove home the other day and everything was working fine. I have never had a problem with my 94 CTD.
Tried to start the next day with no success. Very strong cranking with all appropriate dash instrumentation working. I have cracked the bleeder valve on the filter and manually pumped clean fuel out of it. I cracked several lines at the injector with fuel present but no emerging during cranking.
Where do I start? I am not very familiar with the system but am willing to work on it. Could this be a pumping problem (fuel, lifter or injector) or should I replace the fuel pump relay (something electrical)?
Again the truck was running finewith no indication of trouble...it was even 60 degrees here the other day in Pennsylvania. The truck is sitting in my driveway and I will not need to tow with it for another couple of weeks. So I have a little time.
Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

Check your fuel shut off solenoid (do a search-lots of info). The most common problem would be with fuse link (blue wire on the positive battery terminal). Can temporarily bypass it to see if that is the problem. You can also manually lift the solenoid after the key is turned to the on position. The other thing to check is the relay on the firewall.
If you search you will find tons of info. Not sure if this is your problem, but a good place to start. Kevin
