Solenoid for injector fuel pump is not clicking with original harness if they ran straight power to the injector sending unit relay it would have cut on

What's the purple grease?

Ha ha ha. So many comments from clueless people. I am new to the 7.3 idi non-turbo and finally know there is a fuel issue on mine. When I installed a new filter, I filled it with diesel to the brim. The engine started right away and purred. Later it started immediately with the new Motorcraft 10.5 volt glow plugs. ( removed the useless 5 volt Autolites) HOWEVER the next day, the engine took a lot of cranking on starting fluid before it ran. When I had removed the old filter, it was only 1/2 full? I am thinking somehow the fuel is siphoning out while sitting? On YOUR engine if the injector pump is not delivering fuel to the injectors, perhaps the pump vanes are stuck? Take the pump off and take it apart.

What kind of grease do you use?

Did yu guys ever found the problem?

If you guys don’t know what you doing. Or you are not mechanics. Better do what you do I don’t know ..go hunting or what ever you like to do but not Disel mechanic

Before yall waste time watching this video they didn’t accomplish anything they don’t know what they are doing or what they are trying to fix

That bolt with the socket was a good idea. Learned me something new today❤

I just got an endura pin kit for my front doors on my obs crew cab. Im gonna remove the hinges one at a time and try to get it done this way drilling out the bushing and using a c clamp like a ball joint press to get the new ones in there.

😂 what are you doing?

Thanks for the Video!

Nice little truck

YOU GET THIS GOING? One thing comes to mind... injectors need pressure ton"pop" open. How are y'all building pressure with those injector lines open? Having them full of diesel doesn't do anything for you unless it's under enough pressure to pop the injectors.

Can you make a video on how you took the door off

My hinges are so bad there are no old bushings to replace .

Idm

Thanks for posting this ! Your the only person I can find on TH-cam removing a flatbed . This lets me know it can be done quick with the right equipment now i need to tackle how to take a double frame off along with the flatbed so I can sand blast the frame accordingly.

So I was having this same issue. I couldn't figure it out. Two fresh big batteries and I sprayed it with starting fluid (I know it's not recommended but I only spent $600 and figured worse case it didn't run anyway) and it finally started after a lot of turning over.

Clever .. Good Vid!!

Been trying to figure out why the new fuel shutoff solenoid int working. It passes the check when its off the cover, but something doesnt work when its all together

didnt c u check if check valve was clogged at on top shut off silinoid.just thowing it out there hope it helps.im going threw same ordeal it sucks

Gotta remember the bolt press

Did you ever get the 1994 running?

Use a vacuum pump and a tire filler to vacuum the diesel up to the filter works every time

Thank you!

For what it’s worth… air intrusion… fix that( usually the fuel heater) then crack injector lines one at a time until you get fuel at injector( can take a while)… then it will fire. Drill tap plug the fuel heater is the fix.

Exelente video la forma en que colocas los bujes sin maltratarlos gracias

You ever get that 7.3 idi going?

I adopted 1 it sat up for 4 or 5 years . The problem I came across with mine is rain water some how filled the intake complete up didn't realize it till after I put 2 new batteries in it and turned it over 😳 it clunt? I got all the water out and at a loss bout it 4 now. wood love 2 see yall get yours running Caz mines dewin what yours is dew I appreciate the video

Having the same issue I narrowed it down to the IP. Not enough pressure to pop the injectors

If you do not get fuel coming out and too the injector you will never get it to run...You have to have fuel going to injectors... Test, remove all injectors nuts so they will leak... Again remove start solenoid and manually slide the direction of coil pulling or pushing... You should get fuel from filter to pump and then from the pump to the injector... Just because coil pulled in does not mean it open the fuel port... Your are going to lose fuel, but it will not start because you have the injector disconnected... Two man job,

Best way I found is to pull off the trailer with the bucket rigged fairly tight, that way you can slow the truck down with the tractor. Looks like the twin brother at my house, also won't start. Good luck!

great video and thorough explanation.

Cool 😎

have the same issue on my f350 7.3 idi.. been sitting for 4 years now .. and now i need a truck.

I am currently having the same problem just replace the injection pump truck fired right up as soon as I get under acceleration dies no start after and no fuel coming out of injection pump at injectors

I went thru 3 mechanical pumps before I switched over to electric lift pumps.

I own a 7.3 idi, love it

Ether will tell u real quick what the engine will or won't do

What tranny is in this rig?

I have got a stubborn one to take fuel by running it on starting fluid... its not going to hurt that engine for doing so... you could literally run cans of starting fluid through those old IDI engines and they love it. Keep it running a bit on starting fluid and just see if your diesel does finally make it to the injectors.. I do have over forty years on these old fords

Rob - Great video, thanks for posting. thoughts on using the skid plates to protect the cat converters from theft? Just had mine recently stolen, and I’m considering installing these on my 200 series as dual purpose (overlanding and deterring from theft). Let me know what you think…

Would like to see part 3!

It does look n sound like a healthy engine just needs glow plugs

Needs glow plugs to heat the fuel in order for it to fire. Also gotta give it time to heat so you should have a wait to start light come on in the cab. When it goes out you then can crank it.

When you guys changed the filter you should of filled the filter up with fresh diesel to pre prime it.

Take the high pressure pump off and clean and blow it out good, then hook the pump ,then turn the pump somehow [ drill or 110 motor with an old belt] and pump fuel in the pump with a hose and a upside-down bottle to feed it. As it turns you should see fuel coming from the back of the pump ware the injector line hook to it. If not the pump is not working. Get the high pressure pump to work and get fuel to the injector it should run. If I remember correctly the injector work off of oil pressure to open the injectors.

That was a vacuum pump behind the seat. Powers brake booster ext. Diesels dont make vacuum.

that would be a cool truck to fix up. the idi is a simple diesel engine and are very easy to work on yourself. i would just try and find a complete steering column
