Did you crack all of the injectors, or just the first one?

If you've cracked all of the injectors and fuel is comming out of them and you hear the FASS running I'm kinda stumped.

Drew I've been having problems getting these things to bleed properly without loosening all the lines at once. Maybe the same situation that woli is having. Loosen all the lines and crank on it a few times, then tighten them and see if it will fire.

Mayfair you nailed that, woli dont ever use ether on a diesel with any kind of intake heater unless you want to scatter that engine over a block radius. Trust me, I've seen it happen, not a pretty site. That guy is lucky he's alive. And needless to say, that engine never did run right after that.

if your getting fuel to the VP44, and have 4 lines bled out, that engine should run, VERY rough, but it will run.

I'm wondering if your VP44 has finaly gave up the ghost.
