Archived Sold my truck and it just shut off on the new owner!

[VIPERBLUELX]

I just sold my 2000 2500 4x4. Truck has 141K and runs like a dream. I've never had any issues with it ever. Only mods are Edge Comp, 5" exhaust and BHAF. He got about 30 miles from here and said he stepped down to pass a car and the truck shut off and he coasted to the side of I75. He said he can here the lift pump prime and it shows fuel pressure on the gauge. Any ideas? Can a faulty Comp box cause on to shut off and not start? It's hard for me to help him without the truck here but I'm gonna do what I can.

Check for codes, the key on/off 3 times thing, leave in on after #3. codes will come up in the odometer. Other than that, I can't be of much help.



Good luck!

Yes the faulty box can cause it to shut off. Disconnect the box and try it. If there is fuel pressure, and it's not the Comp, it may be the VP-44 or the cam position sensor.

I loosened all the injector lines and bumped the throttle and I only get fuel flow through 1 line, so from what I've read it sounds like the rotor in the injection pump is stuck?
