It needs a turbo...
So I have a baby moose on the 6.9 and when I drive it, I can get it to smoke. I don't stand on it too much because my pyro for some reason sticks and does not give me the right temps. Runs better than before, but I need to get it timed.
Now, when I look at my return lines (they are clear because I was having starting issues and wanted to rule out the fuel), there is no fuel on the driver's side in the return lines...NONE. Is my lift pump too weak to be pushing the fuel? I did notice yesterday when I was just sitting there testing the pyro that when I was holding a steady throttle (probably about 2500ish because the tach also no workie) that just prior to letting off, it sped up. This made me think the pump was running out of fuel. I did not want to do it again because like I said, the pyro does not work.
So, do you think I am not getting enough fuel at the IP from the lift pump? I have an electric procomp on it now. I have one of the carrier pumps, but have not had a chance to put it on. Is there a way to test other than a fuel pump pressure gauge at the filter head to see if there is a lack of pressure? The lines on the pass side have fuel in them, but that is where the bypass dumps prior to the IP.
