6.9 Won't Start, no fuel pressure, any ideas?
Okay, this morning the 85 CC (in my sig) fired right up. Maybe quarter revolution and it was running, no problems.
Drove it to work, parked in our semi-heated warehouse (45-50 degrees). No problems. Sat for 10 or so hours. Went to leave work, listened to the glow plug relay cycle, and began to turn it over. Wouldn't fire. Tried several times, glowing the plugs each time I tried to start. Factory controller works great. Still no fire.
Next I cracked a line at the injector til it was good and loose. turn engine over for 5 seconds. No fuel, aside from a little wetness. So I pulled the little cover off the top of the gear housing for the injector pump and turned the engine over. Injector pump gear turns. Next I checked all fuses, all good. Next I turn the key to run and detach and reconnect each of the two connectors on the IP. I hear a click for each one. (not for the high idle wires, the other two).
I tried rapping a little on the pump housing as well, then cranking. Nothing.
So I went back and loosened all 8 injector connections and cranked, and cranked, and cranked. I get a tiny amount out of a couple, mostly just dribbling.
I run the diesel additive everyone else does (the company that makes the 911, but I use the regular stuff unless I run into a problem), full fuel tank. Fuel filter is completely full. I even dumped it and filled it back up with half 911 half No. 2.
Through everything I did, it did not fire, not even once.
Any ideas? This is my first diesel. I am thinking injector pump, possibly gears spun on shaft or something? This truck had been running great the past couple months (since I bought it), and even this morning. It has 115,000 miles on it.
My apologies for the essay, any help would be greatly appreciated!

I guess maybe this could be moved to 911 diesel down.. I need this truck to run this weekend....
Can you be more specific about what you tried to do here??
