Dodge cummins won't start, fuel reaching injector pump but no fuel coming out of injector pump.

I have a 1999 dodge cummins 2500 manual trans 4x4. I haven't driven it for 2 weeks. I put a straight exhaust on it and attempted to start the engine. It turned over a couple of times and fired but immediately went dead. Now it won't even try to start. It seems to be getting good fuel flow to the injector pump although i haven't checked fuel pressure from fuel transfer pump. I loosened a couple of injector lines at the injector pump and cranked the engine over for 10 seconds two separate times but no fuel coming out of injector pump. I bought the truck second hand 6 months ago. It has 135000 miles. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

  • Ernest Sakpetor Jul 27, 2013

    Sorry i mean the control board is not sending power to the injector for it to spray fuel into the engine

I had the same type of problem on my '99. The solution was replacing the o'ring on the fuel preheater in the top of the fuel filter assembly. The o'ring was replaced, the filter canister filled with diesel, and no more problem.

99 Dodge ram 2500 with cummins diesel stalled and won't restart. Changed fuel filter, and determined that there is fuel going to injector pump.

loosen one fuel line to one of the injectors, try to start the truck and look for the fuel to spray out of the line. it should spray rather hard if the injector pump is working right. if it just dribbles or trickles out you have a weak pump.

2006 dodge mega cab 4x4 cummins w/6sp started fine this morning and now it will not start about 2 years ago the same thing happened and had to reprogram something, it had something to do with the starter...

Your truck needs to be hooked up to a scan tool so the common rail fuel pressure can be checked.
Have you checked to see if your fuel lift punp is operating to transfer fuel from your tank to the high pressure CP3 fuel pump?
Could possibly be the FCA (fuel control actuator) located on the back of the CP3 pump. It controls the fuel pressure in the high pressure fuel system.

Bad Injectors are also a known cause for no start on these trucks.

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do not unhook any fuel injection lines from the CP3 or Fuel rail or Injector cross over tubes while cranking or running as this fuel pressure varie from 4000 psi to 23000 psi when running.

Is a dodge straight 6 diesel engine with 110,000

Yes, that is a good buy depending on price of course. A Cummins engine can run for 300,000 miles or longer. Generally reach the 500,000 mile mark with no major problems. There is a chance of an injector pump going out if it wasn't maintained well. I would buy it. I hope this helps please rate this and thank you
