ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 What fuel issues are you having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrz Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 What fuel issues are you having? Haven't really had a chance to diagnose the problem, when I had everything all hooked up the pump was not kicking on and had no pressure at the fuel rail, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ftpiercecracker1 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Haven't really had a chance to diagnose the problem, when I had everything all hooked up the pump was not kicking on and had no pressure at the fuel rail, Check Ground, then look for 12v at the fuel pump plug. Fuel pump ground can be found behind the rear driver side tail light, common problem spot. Also if you are not getting 12v to the pump check/replace/bypass the fuel pump ballast resistor.

Think you solved my problem since I have no bed on currently , will see if it kicks on with a ground on the frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
