Help....Truck won't Start

[AndrewKing]

Hi All,

Before Christmas I was going to drive my truck one last time before going on vacation..... When I tried to start it all I got was a puff of smoke from some wire that shorted out... . No wait to start or wouldn't even srank (starter that is). ... Lights worked, horn blew Just nothing w/ the key worked... . I took the truck to the shop yesterday (yes been awhile since it was started)... . they fixed whatever wires kept the wait to start light from lighting and the starter motor will turn the endine over quickly but the truck doesn't even try to fire up... ... . Anyu ideas?... . Maybe my fuel is gelled? How would I check?..... I bought the last fuel in Nov and it wasn't really cold here in VA I don't think... . The car is in the garage and the owner isn't familiar w/ diesels..... Unfortunately the truck is still relaticely new to me to?..... Is there some wire that has to have juice to allow the injector pump to work?... . If so where is it?... . Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for all your help.

Andrew

Sounds like the start/run/stop solenoid on the injector pump is bad. You can remove it and take something out of it, spring or something, someone else will have to chime in on that one, it slips my mind at the moment, this procedure. Also make sure its plugged in, your solenoid will have two 12 volt plugs attached to it.
