Need help. Running fine....5 min down the road truck dies can't restart
Just bought the truck
1994 3.0, automatic trans. 214k
Truck sat in garage for 5 years
Full story.
I jumped the truck she started right up. ( Valve cover leak and fuel leak from the fuel pulsating damper.
Full tune up: oil/filter, plugs/wires, air filter, trans filter/fluids. EGR delete LC engineer, vacuum hoses, pcv valve, fuel filter.
I replaced both the valve cover gaskets and the Fuel pulsating damper/washers (oem part). Plenum removed
Prognosis... After buttoning her up. She cranked right up...idled just fine...no issues, brought her up to operating temp. 15 min at idle. Took her out on a victory lap...5 min down the road...completely shuts off, entire dash lit up...felt like no fuel.. got it towed home.
Replaced the fuel pump and cleaned out the throttle body. (Getting a 41 code)
I've checked the fuel pump, runs
Truck won't start. (Starting fluid gets it started but dies
Questions:
1. Can fuel banjos be tightened too tight where they prevent fuel from passing? Cross over fuel line, removing the FPR.
2. Can the tps sensor be replaced simply or does it need to be adjusted? (Code 41, would this not let her crank or just poor idle)
3. Can replacing the fuel damper/ fuel leak, change in pressure affect ecu and fuel regulation?
I'm stumped...checked the MAFS (bypassed) fuel pump is running; and the TPS (multimeter). Checked all the fuses !no blown fuses), relays click.
Getting fuel, spark and air... Just not cranking
Fixed all the leaks (ran fine leaking all over the place). Buttoned her up and now she won't start....
FYI sorry for the long post but tried to put in all the info.
