one wire hook up??7.3 IDI

[quinnbrian]

Hello All,
I've seen a couple of utube videos that show an IDI running...in a frame by itself..no tranny...body...wiring etc. They hooked up one wire to the start solenoid on the pump??? and ran the batteries to the starter and crossed the starter.
My question...what wire do I need to put power to at the pump/starter solenoid , to open the pump, to started. I have a 1994 motor and would like to started it before I do anymore planing on this project.I'm looking for what wire...maybe the color...or maybe a drawing???
Thanks for looking, and any help would be great.
Cheers
Brian

You need power to the fuel shutoff solenoid on the injection pump. That's it other than the starter.

OK, so do you know what wire/color the wire is? Thanks for the quick response.

Looks like red/lite green into a fusible link and dk blue on the pump but I can't confirm that I'm not near the engine. Google it and look at images. I found wire diagrams that way. Also may depend on year of truck.

Thanks I'll look a little harder on the net.

As long as the engine has a ground (Battery Neg} just run a wire from battery POS + to the IP, FSS connection would be towards the radiator. you would have to pull that wire off to stop the engine. If your using jumper cables, hook the POSto the large terminal on the starter, then a small wire from there to the starter solenoid, to start it. If you need the glow plugs jump POS wire to the GP relay, the side that goes to the glow plugs for 10-15 seconds, then start

Thanks you very much guys!!! Going to try to started next weekend. I have to put the adapter ring and starter back on.

The only wire really needed on top of the injection pump is the connector that has the wide spade connection on it and this is the connector closest to the radiator. The wire connector on the farthest back connector is a small spade connector. These were made this way so you did not mix them up. So far only one member here did in fact mix them but I do not know how because of the large and small spades. What would happen then is the engine would run when cold but as soon as the coolant temp reached 120 degrees the power was shut off to the fuel shutoff valve. This was because he had placed the wrong wire on it. That back connector is the cold advance and the fast idle solenoid power. It stops feeding power to both of those wires at 120 degrees coolant. The sender is located behind the thermostat housing and hard as hell to reach for replacement.
