Default injection pump?

Well I got a big problem with my truck,I went and had the codes clear because I thought the 216? code popped up again because I had a loss in power. They cleared the codes then it wont' start. The check engone light is one. It will start with starter fuild but dies after you let off the pedal. It shows 4 different codes involing the injection pump. My friend and I think if has to do with my superchips programmer, that code has showed up before but I just set if back to stock then back to performance. I'm gonna do that later when I get my programmer and hope it works but I am kinda over due on a injection pump, 150,000 so far

That is the same thing as the intake, DON'T DO IT AGAIN. The heater grid in a Cummins has been known to cause explosions when you do what you are doing. First thing you are going to want to do is check your fuel pressure before the injector pump. If you don't have any pressure or it is very low (less than 4-5 psi) to the injector pump then you probably have a bad lift pump. Once you figure out if your lift pump is shot, you can work on the injector pump. I would venture to guess that your injector pump is shot as well with the codes that you are throwing.

well I checked the lift pump a couple weeks ago and it was about 15 psi idling and its less then a year old, my friend doesn't like superchips cause hes heard alot of bad things bout them and he thinks that helped mess it up, I have had problems with it since like two months ago after I borrowed my friends smarty

well I took the superchips off and it still doesn't start but also no codes too, so I'm guessing I'm gonna need a injection pump
