Hey all.
I apologize for not being able to solve this with a forum search. I’ve got a 92 350 with n/a 7.3. that’s been hard to start. Put a new (amazon supplied) GP controller in and a set of beru glow plugs. After that the wts light only came on for a split second when I tried to start it. (Click, click, click) I also replaced a return line cap to fix a fuel leak on one injector.
So I have a GP controller that I’m not sure is working properly and on top of that I’m pretty sure that I have (or at least had) an air leak that makes it really hard to start.
My questions are assuming I’ve fixed the fuel leak do I have to bleed the air out or will running the truck remove the air without having to bleed the lines?
#2) in trying to get my glow plugs working I read up on installing a manual switch. I took a length of wire and jumped from battery positive to the terminal with the white wire that goes to the relay (?). After doing that and leaving it there for a few seconds now my wts light seems to be on permanently. Whereas before it would just click over and over. I’m hoping I didn’t f-up the relay and burn out my brand new plugs.
Anyway. Would appreciate some input from the brain trust. I’m borrowing a first gen Cummins while my truck is down which is nice but I really need to get my rig back on the road.
