    92 7.3 just dont want to start

    have clear line just before the filter head----no bubbles. return line kit is about 3 yrs, have had the supply line off lately and the donut looks good and other seals on the line look good. could it be sucking air there?

    92 7.3 just dont want to start

    fresh ip, new glow plugs(wellman), fresh filter, good flow to ip, about 5 lbs fuel pressure, fresh fuel in tank. Truck will start with block heater, and runs great, black smoke. have to floor the throttle to get it to start with block heater, and then barely starts up. could it be the screen in...

    turning up the pump

    took the filter head completely off and checked it over real good and nothing blocking that---the line from the filter head to the ip is clear also. looking into the nosecone of my spare ip, i see what looks to be a tiny pinhole, where the fuel must go in, is that correct? Anyway, put it back...

    turning up the pump

    took off the return line and turned on the electric pump and nothing came out! just turned on the ignition though, should I be cranking the engine in order to get the flow or should it be flowing with just the pump turned on? Or is something stopped up in there? Getting about 10# pressure at the...

    turning up the pump

    think you're exactly right. must be the glow plugs. checked the resistance, they all were good, but it could be the controller, will check them for heat tomorrow.

    turning up the pump

    so if I was to turn up the pump, does that mean turning up the pressure or the volume, or does one follow the other?

    turning up the pump

    Im just wondering if the ip has worn enough that it's right on the threshold of supplying enough diesel for the truck to start and or run. I thought I had it fixed yesterday, but I had shot a squirt of diesel down the throat to get it started. After it started, it ran just fine. Then again this...

    turning up the pump

    Will I be wasting my time by turning up the injector pump because I believe it has worn down to where it no longer is pumping any diesel, or when a pump reaches that point, does it need to be replaced? 92 7.3 idi stanadyne thanks

    92 7.3 hard start and no start

    batteries are good, last time it ran, ran good and started good after warm. has high torque starter. about 50k mi on current ip. when it does start cold it sounds like its just barely running, and sometimes just dies. is this a fuel pressure issue or ip going out? thanks for help

    bubble in fuel line

    I have a 92 f350 7.3. Had some issues with air in fuel line. Installed a clear fuel line just before the filter head. Truck now runs good with no issues. No bubbles passing by, but after it sits for a while, bubble forms as if it coming back from the filter head. Is that normal or where is...

    surging?

    you dont have to take the sending unit out!! Just lay down under the tank and reach up there where you feel the top of the sending unit. ( youll have to do it all by feel and left handed). kinda akward but can be done. Now locate the fuel line that is toward the front of the tank or toward the...

    reluctant to put my new wellman 0084's in

    I've read all the posts on them I could find but realized I had the 0084's instead of the "unmeltable" 0088's. I do have a dash momentary toggle on my 92 7.3. Maybe I should have gotten the 0088's. Any thoughts?

    E40D problems

    disconnect the fipl or tps and drive around the block, see if the solenoids don't free up with the extra pressure.
