My Cummins won't start!!!!!!!!!!

[Archive]

Help. Drained the coolant today and replaced both hoses, removed the housing for the thermostat and was going to replace it but the one I bought is too large in diameter so refitted the original thermostat, then refilled with straight water, was going to flush the system. Also put my voltmeter onto the middle wire of the TPS as OD is shifting uncommanded. At one point I had the TPS off the pump. Refitted it, voltage at idle and wot appear to be within spec. Actually went wot by pushing rearward on the lever sticking out at the forward end of the pump. Went to start, fired first compression the way it always does, but won't keep running. Have tried to start several times this afternoon, no luck. Engine never ever stalls once it fires. Seems like it is not getting fuel. Had the key in the 'on' position for perhaps 10 minutes while setting the TPS.
Thanks in advance for suggestions. Have to take the '83 Volvo to work tonight, look at Mr. Cummins again tomorrow afternoon.

Ian, check that the electrical connections to the KSB Solenoid and the Fuel Solenoid are tight and inspect the connectors for corrision. I hope this helps?
