I just sucked air in through the schrader valve and my truck won't start. I tried to hit the starter and let the elect pump run a few times, but still won't start. Any easy way?
Thanks,
Steve

1: Crack open the fuel line at the injector. 2: Have someone turn the engine over ( for no more than 30 sec. at a time ) while you watch for 'clean' fuel, no air bubbles. 3: Close / tighten that line, and move on to the next one. 4: PLEASE BE CAREFUL*, it MAY want to start after the 4th cylinder. If it does, it will probably run rough, that's ok. Tighten the open line(s) , and raise the engine RPM to 1000-1200 untill it smooths out. 5: Enjoy the ride

* not yelling, just trying to stress this point.

Thanks, I'll go try it.

I find it much easier to crack open at least three injector lines at once, crank till diesel appears, tighten then start. It will run poorly for a few seconds but should clear up.

Thanks guys, it started after bleeding the first injector. Runnin' fine again
