Hey guys I have a 2000 cummins 5 speed. the vp44 has been dieing for a while. Well today I changed the fuel filter. I turned the truck over a couple times without starting it. Then I started it up and about 10 seconds later it died. I got a new coed the said lift pump ciruit out of range.?.?.? Now the truck will crank but not start.?.?.?

thanks,
Robert

 

VP finally died???

 

That is what I was affraid of but did not know.

 

What is the actual code number? Is it P0216?

 

Back up and running.?.?.? I cann'T remeber the code number but I erased it and it has not come back. I pulled the 1,3,4 injector lines off that did not help. So I filled the bowl up with fuel and used a hammer on the LP and VP after a little bit of that and foot on the floor when cranking it fired up.

Thanks,
Robert

 

if it said your lift pump was out of range, then your not supplying the vp-44 with fuel. do you have a pressure gauge. if not get that asap. knowing your supply of fuel to the vp is manditory. theres many ways to check with out getting a gauge but the stock pumps are crap. i have been thru a few of them . you can bump the starter to see if you hear the pump. should run 20-30 seconds. if it is running then you need to find out how much fuel it is moving if any at all.

also check the wire on the pump just incase it came loose. doesnt happen often . but its a start to on the easy side.
