Saturday had a little trouble getting the truck to start.

Checked for codes with my handy dandy DRB3 and sure enough crank position sensor showed up .

Ordered 1 and it will be in tommorow afternoon at the local dealer.

Figured I was okay to run some errands with it today...not so much.

Quit all together at a local muffler shop...grrrr.

Figured might as well get it floated home, no problem.

Home in the yard I do a bit of diagnosis and think it strange that I have 1 lb fuel pressure.

So I use a piece of harness and jump the pump direct...no sound. 

Pull the pump and find the wires burnt right off at the pump.

Must have chafed or something but I dont know why. Nothing there really to cause that.

Now to see if I can solder on a couple new ones. Pump was not stuck either, very good shape inside. 

Looks like new. Anyone else see anything like that.

Might not be a crank position sensor after all...false starts set a code maybe?

 Regards Chris

I was mistaken. Crossing the border dosen't mean crossed into Canada. It means crossed into New Jersey.

Oh well it will show up eventually.

The Missus let me know that my parts came this morning...almost 500 dollars to get them accross the border. 

Thats not very good in my book.

Well...that was interesting. The packaging really sucks and the injectors looked like they were in a mudpuddle somewhere along the way.

Had to clean them before installing them.

The install of the pump was pretty easy (read the instructions here a few times) All done and started not to bad.

Took it fore a drive and it works well, run out of road pretty quick.

I did not tap the pump...will wait a month or 3 to see how the new injection pump works.

I have no idea what to do with the cores... no instructions or return label from DAP.

A lesson for Canadians...do your shopping in Canada.

Not really complaining but DAP must sell to Canadian customers from time to time, they don't make it easy to earn repeat business.

UPS will get you every time with their "extra's".

If at possible ship using US Postal Service.

I refuse to buy anything that the sellers ship BY UPS or FedEx.
