Unhappy fuel pump problem

Can anyone tell me how to bleed the high pressure fuel pump? I believe I run it out of fuel. I have changed the lift pump and I am geting fuel to the return line ,but no fuel to the injecters.

You indicated you changed the lift pump, what was the initial problem? My 03' keeps dying and the local Advance store read a code that was "fuel pump A circuit control low CODE:PO628. Was yours a similar problem or code for the pump change?

Yea I had the crankshaft position sensor code first & replaced it. Now I'm getting this PO628. I did find out that the same sensor is used for both the crank & cam.

I've got a scheduled appointment with the local dealership Monday if I cant fix it between now & then. If it is a pump circuit problem would that be covered under warranty on the Cummins 100,000 mile part or not??

OK, that may be part of the difference in the code #s but similar (kinda sorta). Mine has just turned over 90,000.
