Archived Truck Wont Start!

[DieselNasty]

I did some maintainance to my 94 and now it will not start. I changed the fuel filter and oil filter, I happen to think it has to do with fuel, I cranked it over a ton and usually when that happens and it doesnt start you will get some smoke that will float out. I have been checking the bleeding screw and priming the pump,I get fuel, but no luck. Also i changed the turbine housing and have the new gaskets on, but that should have nothing to do with it.

Is the fuel solenoid pulling up? You may have knocked a connection loose.

Did you prefill your oil and fuel filters? Thanks Joe George for explaining about KDP.

I pre filled my oil filter but not my fuel filter, I opened the manual bleed screw and primed the system until fuel came out the screw.

If you are getting fuel to the filter output then you must not be getting fuel into the P7100. Thus my question about the fuel solenoid. If you managed to knock a connection loose so the fuel solenoid is not lifting then it won't start in spite of having plenty of fuel at the fuel filter outlet.

Thanks for the people that responded, I got her started, I checked the connector to the fuel filter and it had some kind of oil or something on it so I cleaned it. I had to crank it over a couple of times giving it some pedal and eventually with my foot on the floor she started up really rough and a ton of smoke. There was definatly some air in the fuel lines and pump.



Thanks
