What should be plugged into this?

That is the Fuel Injection Pump Lever (FIPL) sensor. The E4OD automatic transmission uses this. If you have a manual transmission, chances are that this IP was from a truck with an automatic transmission.

Put your truck info in your signature file and we won't have to guess what you have.

 

[Va_Mike]

Signature has been updated. It is A Manuel 5 speed. So can I remove that sensor or does it need to be on the IP?

I also have a fuel leak under the IP. What should I be looking for as the culprit of the leak? I will try to post a picture in a while but the fuel looks to be coming from closer to the bolting flange at the timing cover.

You can pull it off you don't need it.

This is where I am seeing the fuel under the bolting flange on the IP

Seems rather bothersome to have to have some guy named Manuel, ride along to shift your truck for you.

That darn voice to text on the phone hates me, anytime I try to use it the darn thing bites me in the ass.

Some of us don't need any help with that

So Weather providing I will be working on the truck in the morning. I will remove the Fuel Injection Pump Lever, Do I remove the whole bracket or just the sensor? Also what should I be looking for to Locate the Fuel leak on the Injection Pump? the fuel is puddling under the pump but I cant see where it is coming from.

 

[Selahdoor]

I'm curious where you got to with this?

 

[Va_Mike]

I haven't had much time to play with it. I did clean up the valley pan to see if I could see where the fuel was coming from, I cranked the truck several time and no fuel has shown back up yet (kinda confused about that). I cracked the injector lines and cranked the truck for about 10 seconds did this 3 times checking the lines for fuel as I let the starter cool. I got fuel to 4 lines and ran out of daylight and batteries. I will recharge the batteries and try again. I ordered new fuel filters and it looks like the return lines have be replaced in the recent past, I am going to put some clear tube in to see if I am pushing air.

Where you have a a manual have you tried pull starting?

 

[Va_Mike]

No I haven't tried pull starting. The truck cranks happily but it is not getting enough fuel I don't think, and I am chasing someone else's bad wiring job. I did figure out that they installed a manual glow plug button, the wire was broken so I hooked it up and the wire started smoking and the coil on the glow plug controller started burning all the dirt off of it.

I disconnected the glow plugs and gave it a shot of starting fluid and it kinda tried to start( white smoke out the exhaust) I am going to change the filters and fill them with fresh diesel and atf and see if I can get the injector lines bled properly. Then I will try starting it again.
