Won't start?
 

Hello all .... problem the truck ran well when I shut it off last night got up this morning it cranked but will not start!! ..1999 vintage 5 speed with a EZ could this be a bad fuel shut off? any suggestions will be helpful as we are stuck now

Thanks

Fuel? Filter? Fuel pressure? Codes?

Give as much info as possible, and I'm sure the folks here will give you some ideas.

See my lift pump posts in 3rd gen engine and drivetrain. The one post has a troubleshooting sequence.

Remember, a diesel needs four things to be able to start. Fuel, Air, Compression, and Injection. Take out any one of those and your engine won't start.

If your truck ran well then just would not restart I would suspect an air leak. the rubber lines are prone to develop small leaks whick will cause no start.
as the others have posted the lp can be problematic but simple to diagnose just pop the ff lid and bump the key, it will be messy if it is working and it will not give you a solild pressure reading, but you only need a wee bit of fp to start, if you get no fuel you know where to look, if you get fuel I would start replacing the rubber lines.

Thanks
 

Thanks all was found to be the "Lift Pump" that went bad ... I guess Dodge has changed them to another config but was lucky to find the old config at a Napa store Dodge wanted close to $500.00 !! amazing

Sound like you "NEED" to install a fuel pressure guage! I highly suggest you get one soon or it might be the death of you VP44...:o :rolleyes:
