Argggg...
I followed all steps above but could not get the filter to bleed.
I installed a primer bulb downstream of the large fuel filter. It pressurized the system and I bled the filter and the low pressure (inlet) side of the injector pump.
I started it up and it ran for a few minutes at 800-1000 RPM. It sputtered a few times but caught itself. I then accelerated it up to 2800 RPM and it slowly died like it was running out of fuel. I restarted but had the original problem of starting and slowly dying.
I have checked all of the lines for leaks??? Next step lift pump?
Thanks.
