truck wont start? Lift pump vs. air intrusion

[bbjordan]

Bad Schrader valve? There is another line coming off the fitting at the head where it supplies the IP. This line goes to the fuel return line cap. Disconnect it and you should have fuel coming out of that fitting.

nope, no white smoke out of the exhaust so I dont believe Im getting fuel. Ill crack the injector lines and crank her some more tomorrow when I have more light. I am getting some very little air hissing out of the schrader valve.

Did you install lift pump correctly? The metal arm should be on the bottom of the lobe. It is, however, easy for you to accidentally place arm on the top of cam lobe which will cause issues.

As far as I know I installed the pump correctly. I took the output line off the fuel pump and cranked the engine over and it pump fuel out.

hey ya'll I got it fixed. I ended just running new fuel lines and deleting the FSV. She runs good now.

How do you ensure that the arm is below the lobe? Do you have to roll the engine over to find a certain spot on the lobe?

The way I worded it does kind of look like code talk for what teenagers do in the back seat of a car.

Lol I think you would just angle the arm down when putting it in. Then you should be able to get the bolts started.
Who needs back seats of cars?! Single cab bench seats FTW!!
