If you are only getting fuel out of two lines, then the injection pump is probably bad.
timing timing if you are getting spark and fule check the timing you have a chain or a belt if you don't knwo then take it to a shop
Without doubt something has interrupted your fuel flow to the injectors. Don't be insulted. The fuel system consists of Fuel Tank (empty?), Fuel Guage Dashboard Indicator (Not functioning or miscalibrated?) Fuel Lift Pump (Low Pressure Output?), Fuel lines (clogged?), Fuel Filter (Extremely dirty?), Fuel filter housing (leaking?) Fuel filter water detector (Not functioning and therefore not notifying that your fuel filter is getting ready to send water toward your injectors?) Injector Pump (not sending high pressure fuel to the injectors) and finally, Injectors (clogged?) I have experienced the exact problem. My Fuel Guage does not indicate correctly (The fuel tank holds 35 gal. When I have 5 gallons remaining, the tells me that I have .4 of my fuel left.) Thus, I was driving down the highway and ran out of fuel when the fuel guage said I had 1/3 of a tank left. Other times it has failed to start after changing the fuel filter and after draining water from the fuel filter water drain. Each of those times the not starting was attributeable to a lack of fuel being delivered to the injectors, and was cured by bleeding the air from the high pressure injector fuel lines. (It is only necessary to slightly open one of the injector lines on the head until fuel begins spurting out.) Unfortunately you can't operate the key AND see the top of the engine at the same time.
since when did ford use a 5.9 cummins. 5.9 cummins is a dodge engineford in 1998 had 7.3 powerstrokefrom there it went to 6 lt then to a 6.4
You may have some gummed up injectors. See if it will run with a little starting fluid. If it does, be suspicious of the fuel and the injectors. If everything else seems ok, and it fires briefly with the starting fluid, try getting all of the old fuel out, change the filter then put a couple gallons of fresh fuel back with some injector cleaner mixed in it. You may have to try it a few times with starting fluid, but if it doesn't fire then, remove the injectors and see if you can have them cleaned. Sitting for a year is very hard on the fuel system and rubber parts of a vehicle.
Typically it's a sticking injector. If it runs, try putting some injector cleaner in your next tank of fuel. Also, if the air filter is plugged the engine may not be getting enough air.
you must change/rebuild all four of the to insure even fuel spray out of the injectors. first remove the top half of the EfI system, once the top half is gone, remove the fuel line from injector rail, disconnect the plugs from injectors. remove injector rail and all four injectors as one. the reverse for installing the. be very careful with the new injectors when installing as they are fragile little thing. never reuse the rubber o rings on the injectors. they are usually the culprit of injector leaks or air getting in.
If it is just one injector, it is a bad injector or a problem in the wiring harness or connector for that injector. If it is all of the injectors, it could be a fuse, the entire injector harness, a broken loose or unplugged connector on the injector harness, or the fuel pump or fuel pressure regulator.
Check the camshaft sensor. If the sensor is bad or not getting power, then the engine will not fire and the injector will not get a signal.
Fuel injectors run on electricity, and an electrical impulse to fire. When the charge is gone, so to is the ability for a fuel injector to move fuel to the engine block. You are getting fuel to the fuel injector, but not the engine. Check the voltage going to the fuel injectors. -no voltage, or not enough --short circuit in fuel electrical system. --replace the ecu (check the manual or call the dealership) -good voltage to injectors, replace the fuel injectors. Go here to get new ones shipped out before you remove the old ones. http://www.fuelinjectorwhse.com
Sounds like the injectors are failing by staying open too long. Probably time for new injectors. Impossible to test without an inline injector tester. Hope this helps.
no Most of the time white smoke is caused by antifreeze burning in the cylinder. Leaking injector s can cause white to blueish smoke.And that's alot more common then antifreeze getting into your CTD. Also antifreeze will almost always lock you up , due to the higher compression of the CTD. Gas engines have a much lower compression . They will sound horriable but burn it. CTD will crack. Check leaking injector, or turbo oil.
Are you sure you are changing injector #7? Should be the injector closest to the firewall on the drivers side. If you are changing the correct injector, and the code remains, the problem is with the wiring from the injector to the pcm (computer) or the computer itself. You can check for correct battery voltage at the injector with a volt/ohm meter (how does the connector look at the injector?). This year of Durango/Dakota had trouble with computers too, although I have not heard of specific injector trouble being caused by the computer. Most likely a wiring problem. It may even be the TPS
Most injectors should show battery voltage IE approx 13V. Where to look if not getting voltage. Immobiliser. Injector relay. Wiring harness. Crankshaft position sensor.
Pull a couple of plugs and see if they are fouled or the injectors may not be firing.
The 96'-98' vortec 350 has 8 fuel injectors that are contained inside the intake manifold. the vortec uses whats called csfi which is called central sequential fuel injection it has 8 electronic fuel injectors and 8 mechanical ones thesa are the ones that deliver the fuel.
Check the computer codes. Borrow, rent or buy a code scanner at a local auto parts retailer. You might be having a problem with the O2 sensors, egr valve, throttle position sensor, fuel injector or other sensors that could affect the performance of the injectors. If an injector is sticking you might need to replace it. You can also add a little injector cleaner if that's all that's wrong but stuck injectors are often more difficult than that.
check the fuses
