Default Diesel starting problems

Or that the lift pump has a leaky diaphragm - it works good enough at

there at cranking rpm...



I agree, too. It's sucking air into the fuel line from "somewhere".
REPLACE all the crappy hoses, don't just cut the end off them, and try it.
Only takes a tiny crack to suck in a tiny air bubble and the injection
timing and fuel delivery just sucks! Check the fuel filter seals, too. It
may be sucking a bubble in around there, too.

Air is the reason it won't run....air in the fuel system.
