Hey there I put a 98 1.9L M-TDI in my Toyota pickup and it won’t stay running. I just swapped all new fuel lines, new fuel filter and housing, and bled the injector lines. I have a clear in line fuel filter under he hood and it has constant fuel going through it. It’s like it gets warm and gen shuts off. I put a mechanical pump on it and got rid of all the electronics. I’m going to try and post a video on here but if not my phone number is(360) 901-8584 and you can text me and I’ll send the video.

Very odd... if it starts and runs, how long does it stay running without any help?

Have you tried running it off a jug, bypassing the entire Toyota fuel system?

Still doing the same thing, thought it was the injection pump and got it fixed and still won’t stay running for more than a minute. Do you think the stock Toyota fuel lines would restrict fuel from the tank. I have a 4-6PSI trash pump right before the fuel tank to push it to the pump.

Make sure that the "in" and "out" banjo bolts are in their correct locations on the injection pump !
