So...
You're saying that the injectors are opening, but no fuel comes out?
Was there any recent work done to the engine, or this just started happening?

This is my biggest pet peeve of the forums.
99% of the time, once someone gets an answer and/or finds a solution, they never post the results.
So nobody else gets the benefit of that knowledge if THEY ever have a similar problem.

OP's last login was before post #5 was posted.

How about we give him a chance to login and reply before we get out the lynching rope? ;)

Yeah my pitch fork was ready too, but I decided to wait a little. I'm sure he'll chime in sooner or later.
Whenever someone doesn't post their fix, I'd just PM them to get an answer to what was the problem. Sometimes they reply.

JEEZ guys...lol i have been busy as all hell. It ended up being my own stupid fault.. So i appologize for taking up forum space.. I had plumbed the fuel feed into the return side of fpr. and the Return line was going to the inlet to the rail... But its RUNNING!! First time in over a year.. runs ok for not having any tune atm, but its smoking like all hell. Oil for sure.Motor has about 1-2k miles on rebuild(new rings,bearings,seals etc). Im going to try some high vac decel pulls and see where that leaves me. Thanks guys

Thanks for posting back Sean. This may save the next guy who makes the same mistake a ton of grief. Congrats on getting it running!

Reporting screw ups are important too. When someone is searching for an answer on a related problem they may have screwed up too and not even know it. That's until they'd read your screw up, and check to see if they did the same thing. Many times guys are too embarrased to report back knowing it was their own fault. Believe it or not, it helps us all. Thank you. *puts down pitch fork*
