I have replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump, and my truck has spark because it starts for a few seconds when I use the gas rag. I can hear the fuel pump come on, and have checked the pressure. Could it be the fuel pressure regulator or what?

I am making a donation and apologize that I can't donate more, but I just got laid off at my job.

Thanks!

Hi Bigeasy5, Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation

You've check the fuel pressure what was the fuel pressure readings? also did you check if the injectors are pulsing-Get back asap-so we can continue to assist.

Sorry it took me so long to reply, but now my computer is giving me trouble too!!LOL

Anyway, when I checked the fuel pressure it was 60 psi. I haven't been able to check or test the injectors because I haven't been able to take the manifold off yet, and I plan on doing it tomorrow.

Hi bigeasy5,

Just wanted to see where you were at with your testing and if you ever got that manifold off? Let us know so we can get you figured out.

I haven't been able to check or test the injectors. The resistances of the injector should be 11.8-12.6 ohms

Had a family emergency that took me out of town, so I should be back to do it by Wednesday. What did you mean by "resistance of injectors should be 11.8-12.6 ohms?"

You use an ohmmeter to measure the resistances between the injector teminals
