    Post up your custom fuel pump/filtration setups....

    Just change the pump, it is going bad. I went through this issue this summer. Ordered and installed a new Facet and my problem with the fuel light coming on is gone. My pump is mounted to and just above the frame rails. The old one still pumps fuel, just not enough. Good luck.

    94 turbo 7.3l e40d

    It might be the turbo oil return line seal (olive). When it leaks, looks like the oil is coming from the back of the pan.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Nice truck. I love the colors.

    For you automatic guru's

    The stamped one is N/A to E4OD, I'm almost certain. Look at the other side to see if there is a weight welded on. If not it is N/A. If it has a weight, it is from a turbo engine.

    Nice looking truck. I think you will enjoy it.

    Fuse/Relay box install for headlight relays

    I've seen a framing square used for a lot of things, but that is a first. :) Looks great.

    Electric fuel pump

    You guys are ignoring the fact that a pump listed at 9-11 pounds static (no fuel flow) only puts out 5-6 psi with the engine running (at idle). This is due to the bypass of the filter, use by the engine, bypass of the injection pump, and the bypass of the injectors.

    http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?76503-Electric-Lift-Pumps-IP-and-Injection-Timing&p=901326#post901326 My pressure is about the same as the stock lift pump.

    Electric fuel pump

    I used a ring terminal underneath the spade connector.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Would this help? It says it will break down algae so it will "pass harmlessly through filters and nozzles". Interesting claim anyway. http://www.dieselcraft.com/fuel_products.php?id=7

    4500 rpms in your IDI???

    Free revving a 3 1/2 hp lawn mower engine is not a good Idea, and free revving a diesel is certainly a bad idea. We destroyed a race engine years ago when one of the mechanics wanted to make sure it would rev. Intake valve head made a mess when it broke off.

    bought and engine now what

    '93 IDIT and '94 IDIT use the same flex plate or flywheel.

    bought and engine now what

    Shawn, look the second picture in your post. At about 4 o'clock, you will see a weight about 5" long, welded to the flex plate. This flex plate came off of a 7.3 IDIT (turbo) engine. The non-turbo flex plate does not have that weight. Hope this helps, JL

    bought and engine now what

    Not different from an auto to a manual, but different from a 7.3 IDIT to a 7.3 N/A. I did lots of research on the 7.3 IDIT engine. It was only made for about a year, and then as an option engine. Trust me, I know, I have experience.:D I have had an E4OD out, changed the fiexplate, and put...

    bought and engine now what

    For the 93-94 1/2 7.3 turbo, the balance is different from all the other engines. It is an externally balanced engine. You cannot interchange harmonic balancers. And, the flex plate or flywheel is unique to this engine also. Other flywheels and balancers will bolt up, but the engine will...

    EPA & VW

    Urea injection was based on the weight of the vehicle. 2012 Passat had it, the Jetta did not. The SUV diesels had it before 2012, but I don't know what year. The Jetta got it in 2014, I think. A lot of people sure loved the Passat Wagon. My neighbor loved his Jetta wagon, except for rear...

    EPA & VW

    My 2012 uses the urea injection. I plan to keep driving it until VW gets it together. I bought it to be my last car, maybe. Might still be, with the mileage people are getting out of the TDI motors.

    EPA & VW

    I have had 3 safety related recalls on my 2012 Passat TDI SEL since the emissions scandal started. First, the clock spring had to be replaced. That one is completed. Second, Takata SDI frontal airbag. No parts available yet. Wonder if the one in this thread, that branded the singer, was one...

    EPA & VW

    That's gotta hurt. Another recall came out today. So far, that is three with no fixes yet. I'm starting to wonder if I want to keep mine, or not. Then, on the other hand, they are admitting when they have something wrong.

    TPS and Transmission Range Sensor questions

    It would idle with no problem. When i had it in any gear, pushed on the throttle to move, and then took my foot off to put it on the brake, it would die. The second time it happened, I had the pump rebuilt again (about 100,000 later) and the condition didn't change. I called the pump...

    TPS and Transmission Range Sensor questions

    The money you are talking about wouldn't be a good payment on a new one, although I know money is hard to come by these days. I have had the rough idling you described, twice. Once, it was a worn out injection pump (160,000 miles). Once it was a return line sucking air. I had to keep my...

    First Diesel, Where to Begin

    Around here, they check the tank with the little probe. If they don't find anything they move on. If it detects dye, they pull the fuel filter for evidence, from what I hear. I run off road and road fuel in equipment. The dye will color the fuel filter, but I have never seen any evidence in...

    First Diesel, Where to Begin

    I think the $10,000 fine is pretty universal. I have been checked here in NC, at a flea market, of all places. Draining and cleaning your tanks will save you grief later on.

    Fuel pressure is not a problem. Mine works great. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/eppages/solidstatepump2.php
