Guys,Hey ya'll,
Everything is true in the two posts above mine.
Also yes, we have checked the HP pressure. We rarely get above 100 bar. So it's clear that we don't have enough pressure, but we're unsure why. As stated above, when we removed the connector and tried to start the van, we were able to purge the air, but the van still didn't start.
One of my questions is about the difference between the fuel rail solenoid and the low pressure sensor. ** How does one check the low pressure sensor?**
Also - does anyone with a 2002 (bill?) know how to do the fuel solenoid leak off test without removing the intake manifold?
I never had to go that far. All my problems were continual air in the lines and a no HOT start condition.
When things cooled off(by opening the hood and waiting 30 minutes) the engine started again.
The problem for me was fixed by replacing every o-ring, every clamp, or double clamping, cutting the used fuel line ends off/back on all the clamped connections on the fuel line.
Also.
Replacing the diverter valve and o-ring and using a non water separating fuel filter.
I had to do EVERYTHING right. Then there was still air in the lines but running the machine 25 miles purged it. I stopped, opened the hood no air seen with a running engine, shut off the engine, restarted, waited 5 minutes , restarted. waited 15 minutes, restarted.
My problem was resolved. Remember it was always a HOT start problem. It was not electronic, I replaced no sensors.
FWIW removing the fuel filter and replacing it I filled the filter with fuel and cranked the engine. The system purged itself with no problem and stared fine cold after a few tries. No might vac , no issues, just crank about 3-4 10 second bursts and then it ran fine cold.
I did this 3 or 4 times.
BTW I second everything you say about Joel @ MMS.
