Back at ya guys with another scenario. Engine cranks over, takes too long to start though. Once it does, it stalls out. Unless I give it plenty of throttle it will die. After a few times I can get her started and she will run but I get a surge of power intermittently, almost always at lower speeds and 2nd gear. Fuel pump? Air intrusion?
I did just replace all new return lines and those are working great, no leaks at all. I did that about 2 weeks ago though and it just started this whole no start and die on me thing yesterday with the surging. Is it possible that with new return lines it over powers the other old lines and fuel parts into malfunction, almost like they couldn't keep up with the new pressure? The truck is an 86 f250, 6.9, c6 with a shift kit and 153,000 miles on her. Almost everything is stock. Truck was babied by previous owner. I've only had to replace the return lines (which were crusty as ****) alternator, belts, neutral safety switch, batteries and filters. Fuel filter is less than 2 months old. Air too. Oh, replaced the voltage regulator other day also. Thanks again amigos
