Hi guys i have a no run condition on a 1997 dodge 5.9 diesel it will run for 5 seconds then shut off i was thinking the lift pump because i cant hear it run when you turn the key to run any other tests that you can do to find out the issue thank you
97 will be a 12 valve with a mechanical lift pump mounted on the side of the engine - you won't hear it run because it runs off a lobe on the camshaft, not electricity, so it doesn't run until the engine is turning over.
Definitely check fuel pressure, and look for leaks on the lines.
