Let's me catch y'all up to speed on this project truck that has been years in the making. Roughly 3 years ago I pulled the engine because she was basically running on oil. over the course of the next 2 years I got the block and heads rebuilt. I had the machinist put 910 comp springs in the heads and I put the R&D camshaft in it (this engine is currently NA) cylinders are over-bored .30. About a year and a half ago we finally got the engine in and we bolted everything up, but the engine would not start. (I made a post about this back then) college started and I was out of time so I had to let the truck sit. fast forward to two days ago I finally got a week where I can work on this thing. To make an already long story shorter the old lift pump was no good, and the FSS was no good on a basically brand new IP pump from R&D. I switched it out with the OG pumps FSS. Finally the truck fired, it was a good moment I've never rebuilt an engine before and I wasn't sure if this thing was ever going to work.
Now to the problem. The truck runs fine and sounds beautiful, No smoke out of the tail pipe, just glorious sound. The truck will not idle though, if I hold the pedal down to keep the rpms around 650 rpm it will run but if I let off the pedal the truck dies. Not only that, but I cannot get the truck to go over 2100 RPM and the throttle response is really bad.
The truck has basically all new parts with few to no miles one them. Injectors are stage one R&D injectors, R&D 90cc IP pump, new fuel filter and a new lift pump. I'm not really sure what to do next I am figuring that something may be gummed up in the IP pump from sitting so long but I'm not sure. Any feedback would be welcome.
Thanks!!!
