My 83 6.9IDI won't start. If I put a little gas down the intake it fires over a few times and dies. I figured it was air intrusion as in the past I have had problems with it starting, dieing, and then requiring a long crank time to start again. I wasn't sure where it was coming from. A couple of the injectors are wet on top where the hard metal line meets the "nut". I thought that might mean the hard lines where cracked? I couldn't see how it could get fuel up there if the injector caps where leaking but maybe it can. Looking for an answer on that.
Anyways it wouldn't start today. The only way it fired for a minute was if I cracked all the lines at the injector and then cranked for a minute and closed them back up.
I'm thinking that air is leaking thru the injector caps and back to the return line that goes back to the filter housing and making it so the injector pump just can't make pressure? Does this sound right? I ordered this kit from ebay to replace the return caps & lines hoping that will fix the issue.
