Good morning, I would like humbly ask for the advice of some experts here. I swapped an 03 ALH engine into an 89 Toyota pick up. I can not get this bugger to start. I have a jug of fuel on the roof siphoned into the injection pump, I have vacuumed probably a gallon of file through the injunction pump. When I crank it it takes a few revaluations to get a good squirt at any of my he injectors. If I stop to give the starter a brake it seems like I have to start over bleeding the injectors. It takes a lot of cranking to get anything out of #3. I had it start smoking out the exhaust a little last night so I cycled the glow plugs on and it really tried to start but then it just quit smoking while still cranking. This engine hasn’t got any ran in about 2 years but I know it ran good before that. I am thinking the ip is sucking air somewhere. When I pull vacuum on the return the bubbles never stop but when I crank it there isn’t any bubbles in the return. I’m going to get some more fuel and another starter to give it another go. Sorry for the long book but thank you if you’re still with me. I would appreciate any ideas. Thank you
