Yesterday my wife and I were out running errands, heading home on the highway when the truck began to sputter, blow blue smoke, and then completely died. We got towed home and how I'm starting to diagnose the issue. Background - About 700 miles ago the truck was throwing a P2016 code. I installed a filter / new lift pump from NAPA, and a new VP44 from Pacific Fuel Injection in Portland. I also replaced the crank position sensor while I was there. The installation went well, and the truck drove with renewed strength; even towing a 10k RV trailer for over 350 miles. Here is what I know now: There are no engine codes throwing The VP44 keyway is still in position (see picture below; the angle was hard to shoot with my camera) The lift pump pressure is ~13PSI When I crank with the injector seats slightly loosened, I see fuel pooling underneath I began the process of pulling the pump believing that I receieved a bad unit. All injection lines are off the truck and I'm ready to pull the pump out. As you can see in the photo below, I was test-threading some puller bolts in preparation of removing the pump and attempting a re-seat. After getting a better look at the keyway, it is apparent that the key is indeed seated. So now I'm at a stopping point - Any assistance is appreciated. Thanks from Washington, Ty
