Hi all. I have a fresh conversion that I've been working on. I'm putting a known good/running 1Z into my Westfalia (original diesel). I removed the fuel system all together to replace old lines/clean the tank/paint. So plenty of air in the lines. I filled the filter with diesel as well as the line between the filter and the injector.
So here's what happens. The air in the lines seemed to have worked it's way through for the most part. When I crank the engine over it will crank and crank and crank and for a second it will fire up and then die.
I've cracked the injector lines while cranking it and the smallest little bit of diesel will come out. Barely any really. I'm getting some white smoke from the exhaust (but not much).
It seems like I need to prime my injection pump or something. I've been searching unsuccessfully for an answer. Anybody have any ideas?
