I know a million questions have been answered on the topic, but I'd greatly appreciate an analysis of my specific situation.
My last thread in this forum details some of whats below, and I thank you all again for the help thus far.
I posted this in the facespace group but I'm not seeing any replies.
Bought a 86 6.9 f250 a few years ago, now at 153k miles, had a number of problems I fixed one by one unrelated to the fuel system/running. One day the glow plug controller apparently stuck open and burned all the plugs, took me a while to figure out that whole thing[was completely new to diesels]. Got it seeming to work, truck was starting great for a while, running well enough, seemed kinda weak sometimes but figured "thats an old idi". After a summer ago driving it often, it started hard starting again even with the correct motorcraft plugs testing good. Its mostly just sat with a camper on it for about a year since. Today I went for a little drive and after warming up and filling up at a gas station, it stalled immediately after start. Started right up again, drove a ways down the road, felt maybe less power, stalled again when I let off throttle and on clutch. Start again while rolling, pulled into a parking lot where it kept stalling on me, and eventually wouldnt start again at all. As far as I can tell it has the original injection pump. It still has fuel pressure at the Schrader(holley red lift pump). Injectors themselves are freshly rebuilt from RussRepair. Return system has also been rebuilt with russ repair o-rings and r&d rails. No leaks detectable.
I've thrown a ton of money at this truck now, (plenty more than the above mentioned upgrades) please tell me I'm probably just due for the injection pump...
I didnt know to try pouring water on the IP, I'll be filling the filter with atf or something and trying it cool in the morning too.
Thanks
Ps... whats the best/most economical way to have one of these rebuilt anymore? I dont see the options on r&d or russ...
