I took of my Injection Pump to replace my tappet cover gasket. Truck has seemingly no issues before hand other than a drop in fuel mileage.
After taking everything off and putting back on carefully i have come across the following symptoms:
trouble codes - p0216/p1693
excessive white smoke at idle
dead pedal across all RPM ranges
fuel mileage around the 11mpg ranges
hard cranking now that temperatures have dropped
0 movement from vehicle before engine gets to around 190* (truck will move under idle but 0 throttle response)
I am about to get a fuel pressure gauge to double check but other testing seems within normal limits.
Assumption is the vp44 is bad I'm just hoping its something else.
If this is the cause any ideas on best place to get a rebuilt one? I have read good things about blue chip diesel. Thoroughbred diesel also has packages that include a new lift pump and injectors. My 01 has about 316k miles and a bd aftermarket pump already.
Thanks in advance for any and all help
