If there is a fuel filter between the fuel rail and the fuel pump, change it out. Take the vacuum line off of the fuel regulator to see if there is any gas in the line. If there is gas, then the fuel regulator is bad. Otherwise it may be the fuel pump.

Fuel tank. Fuel line Fuel filter Fuel pipe too fuel rail. Fairly simple. Check where pressure is, sounds blocked, restricted fuel filter.

Check the fuel tank breather isn't blocked, also, fuel tank filler cap....is the rubber flat seal okay, as fuel empys, air needs too go back in the tank. If breathers blocked, restriction of flow or non fuel flow can happen. Remove gas tank filler cap....then try starting , see if it stays running now.

My Dodge diesel 6.7 was running good and when I came home from work, shut off and 2 hours later I went to start and the engine turns over, but will not start. I thought it was a fuel problem, so loosen injector and turned over and had fuel. I tried to run engine analyses and nothing. It appears there the electrical has shut down, but the engine still turns over. Are the fuel injectors electrically pulsed or by pressure form pump? The only thing that come up is check gauges. No engine light at all. 2 Answers
