Sounds like a bad pump but cold be water in the gas. Put some gas line antifreeze in the next few tank fillups.

You need to check your air intake heater its not working

Every engine requires four basic ingredients to start: sufficient cranking speed, good compression, adequate ignition voltage (with correct timing) and fuel (a relatively rich air/fuel mixture initially). So any time an engine fails to start, you can assume it lacks one of these four essential ingredients. But which one?
To find you, you need to analyze the situation. If the engine won't crank, you are probably dealing with a starter or battery problem.
If an engine cranks but refuses to start, it lacks ignition, fuel or compression. Was it running fine but quit suddenly? The most likely causes here would be a failed fuel pump, ignition module or broken overhead cam timing belt.
ENGINE CRANKS BUT WILL NOT START
When the engine cranks normally but won't start, you need to check ignition, fuel and"http://www.aa1car.com/library/compression.htm". Ignition is easy enough to check with a spark tester or by positioning a plug wire near a good ground. No spark? The most likely causes would be a failed ignition module, distributor pickup. ENGINE CRANKS AND HAS SPARK BUT WILL NOT START If you see a good hot spark when you crank the engine, but it won't start, check for fuel. The problem might be a.
On an older engine with a pump the throttle linkage and look for fuel squirting into the carburetor throat. No fuel? Possible causes include a stuck needle valve in the carburetor, a plugged fuel line or fuel filter.
There is also the possibility that the fuel in the tank may be heavily contaminated with water or overloaded with alcohol. If the tank was just filled might be causing the problem.
Even if there is fuel and it is being delivered to the engine, a massive could be preventing the engine from starting. A large enough vacuum leak will lean out the air/fuel ratio to such an extent that the mixture won't ignite. An EGR valve that is stuck wide open, a disconnected PCV hose, loose vacuum hose for the power brake booster, or similar leak could be the culprit. Check all vacuum connections and listen for unusual sucking noises while cranking.
as you said you have codes you can check out from codes which part out of this is faulty.and you can get that particular part replaced.
This will help. Thanks please keep updated.please do rate the solution if helped.thank you for using fixya.

Is this the same problem that you before you replaced those parts? If not it sounds to me like you have a defective starter. If this is the same problem that you before then it could be, the neutral safety switch, the ignition switch, or the starter relay battery cables, poor ground. Check the negative cable connections at the frame, is it loose or corroded? The alternators job is to keep the battery charged, it doesn't have any affect on the starting system. The new battery should be fully charged.

I agree with kious75, you need to get the air out of the injector lines. Has the truck ran AT ALL since the installation of the injector pump?

What type of additive did you put in the trucks fuel tank?

Have you replaced the fuel filter recently? Check the filter canister to see if fuel has been pumped in to it. (one way to check is to open the water/fuel seperator valve on the bottom of the fuel filter canister and see if there is any fuel or water in there)

I had a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with a 24V Cummins ISB engine and had trouble getting it to start. Had NO luck bleeding the injector lines. My truck was a 5-speed so I got it on dry level ground and had a friend pull me with his truck, I popped the clutch in 3rd gear and the truck cranked up beautifully. It is similar to the process you would go thru if you had an old 5-speed vehicle with a dead battery. The engine and fuel delivery system on my truck and your truck are different but similar. My problem was a bad "lift pump" which was about $150 to fix, but caused a $1500 injector pump failure. I was nervous about pull starting my truck but it worked... the truck always cranked up after that.

It can be not enough coolant. Check the coolant level. Also the regulator can be at the position than car takes air form outside not inside. Have it checked too.
Good Luck

You have no fuel preasure check your fuel pump and relay,I bet your pump has went into retirement

i believe 2, plus the electrical
