91.5 Not starting

Postby GoonSquad » Wed Oct 02, 2013 2:35 pm

Sold my bmw and picked this truck up for a steal. 91 12v 4x4 reg cab long bed has had turbo work and trans work.So i had it towed to the house. Battery was low so had it charging to start it. For some reason it's not cranking up. i pumped the fuel pump had fuel squirting out the lines i also got a new pump to install. Truck was sitting while the seller was deployed.Any ideas on Geting this baby to purr?

If its getting fuel and turning over check the fuel shutoff solenoid.

Sometimes it helps to crack 3 injectors loose [1-3-5], leave 3 tight [2-4-6], crank engine till it acts like it wants to start. Then tighten the loose injector lines, loosen the others and crank again, till it acts like it wants to start. Then tighten all, crank and let her run.
