The oil cooler is on. I'd like to crank engine without it firing to prime the oil system. Can someone tell me what to disconect to do this. Can't find procedure in the shop manual. It just says to do it....

Sam

Really simple. Find the wire on top of the injection pump. It will be the large spade connector. Just remove it so the fuel shutoff valve can't get power. The other wire on top of the injection pump is the cold electric advance. It is fed power thru the sender behind the thermostat housing as is the fast idle. Both of those loose power when the coolant reaches 120 degrees.
