just got home shut off truck for 1/2 hour will not restart.if it does start it runs for a second then dies the truck is bone stock 6spd

 

Need more info on truck?
Year?
Miles on truck?
Just filled?
Possible filter?
Lift pump?
Relief valve?
Do you only run #2?

 

Fill out your sig or post what truck you have.... garbage in, garbage out

 

sorry.filled up yesterday at my normal station,drove over 100 miles since,can here the lift pump running when iu cycle the key,and cracked an injector open to see if it was getting fuel,it is not sure how much should come out though?not familiar with the releif valve though?its an 03 3500 4X4 6spd DRW 60Kmiles bone stock

 

pulled the codes P0581 P0477 neither of which should cause it not to run

 

Cracking an injector on a common rail is a waste of time. The lines and fuel log are basically a "high pressure" resivior from which the injectors feed. You really need a scan tool to monitor the rail psi and set point while cranking for starters.

 

ok well the common rail is new to me,just got rid of my 01, 3 days ago i know very little about the cr injection,i dont have a scan tool here so that does me no good

 

I would drain the filter and have a look at it to see if it looks ok. When did you last change the fuel filter? But if it is not even chugging could it be one of the sensors?

 

the truck was running flawlessly before ity wouldnt start so i doubt it is the fuel filter,i would think it would still start even if it was dirty,not sure of the sensors though

 

I have had my 2004.5 for almost 60k and have not had a problem. But I remember someone having a similar problem as yours and I think it was the cam sensor. The crank and cam sensor are a ***** to get to on the front of the engine. Had them off and back on when I installed my TST. Maybe worth just making sure they are seated well.

Is this the first time you have seen the codes?

 

i just got the truck 4 days ago and it had no codes when i picked it up,so yes these is the first ive seen

 

Sounds fuel related... maybe you got a bad tank?
Since you checked your filter and lift pump...

 

What kind of key does the truck have? Some have had problems with the smart keys. I know of a local 06' CTD that only the wife's key will operate the truck. The husbands key is only good for unlocking the truck.

 

If it were the key then it wouldnt have started at all, he stated that it would run for a few seconds and die.

 

thats exactly what it did,but now it just cranks,after doing some reading im guessing that its the pressure relief valve on the common rail steup.Its getting towed to the dealer this morning,hope they have a big tow truck thanks for all the help,ill let you guys know what they find
