Hi everyone,
New to the form and read one thread with similar issues with my TL.
Bought it used. Hard to start when cold. Would require a lot of cranking with charger on 60amp to eventually get it to start. Always restarted when warmed up, has a little smoke when running but ran great and has good power. Currently I haven't been able to get it started so I dug into it a bit. Pulled injectors to check for clogs, adjusted valves, they were all very loose. Before I re-installed the lines to the injectors I hit the starter to see if fuel would come out and it didn't. Fuel is getting to the injector pump and returning to the tank but not to the injectors. I put a vacuum on one of the lines and turned it over and didn't get any fuel. I can hear and feel the fuel shut off switch being activated but how do I know if it is actually doing it's job?
Could I find anything by removing the top of the pump?
Appreciate any help and direction.
Thank you,
David
