have the 6.9 with mechanical fuel pump (new). IP and injectors are new. Return lines new, a slight weep on the return line That connects to the IP. Previous owner said the truck will have some trouble starting after it sits a few days. I assume this is due to fuel draining back.
I bought it last week and have been running every day. Always fires right up on the first or second try and goes right into a smooth idle. Last ran it yesterday afternoon.
Today, went to start it. Nothing. Tried cranking several times for 7to 10 sec per try, either at half throttle or full. Didn’t even try to start. It’s about 75f here so it should fire right up. My guess is fuel has drained back, or the cut off solenoid on the IP is engaging somehow.
Anyone got some ideas for me on things to check? I’m going to try cranking more in a minute. And I need to figure out how the fuel shutoff solenoid works so I can check that as well.
I did replace the safety neutral switch on the C6 yesterday. Drove it several times since then with no,issues. Does the safety neutral switch disable the starter, the fuel cutoff solenoid on the injector pump, or both? I would figure starter which is working fine...
