We (my boss) recently bought a '00 Cummins that (I) talked him into buying. It's an Awesome truck. <br />
It has appeared to ran out of fuel at just under 1/8 tank, and after bleeding out the injection pump, it's a runner. <br />
<br />
Now every 3 seconds it bogs out like it's starving for fuel. It runs good for a few more seconds, and then falters out again... (consistently every 3 seconds). <br />
<br />
We had to drop it off at the shop. Also a few different MAP codes showed up, so we agreed on swapping out the MAP. <br />
<br />
Don't seem to be getting anywhere with this shop, but we're still on the cheap so far @$160.<br />
<br />
My questions are, what kind of fuel pressure should be on the test port, and could this be either a bad lift pump or fuel filter as the possible culprit? <br />
<br />
Sorry, neither of us are diesel guys... Yet, and we're still trying to ask the right questions for the shop to put this truck back to work. <br />
<br />
I'll try to get the codes up asap, and maybe post up a video.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

 

lift pump should be putting out at the very least 7 psi or so. Ideally it should be quite a bit higher than that at full load so you don't fry the injection pump.

It sounds like your boss may be replacing both.

 

$400 dollars later, the truck left the shop with a new MAP sensor.

CEL still on when it left the shop with a Map Code...
When the (diesel guy) read it at Autozone, we unplugged the Edge EZ Map & Data link and she runs like a raped ape with no mo codes.
