Hello, first timer here! Need some help 2003 lb7 all stock but does have fass150 lift pump installed by previous owner. Today I went to start the truck a and it fired for a second then shut off. Checked for codes none present. Data list shows 3500-3800 rail pressure while cranking over. I know I'm going to get the don't do that but I disconnected the glow plugs and hit it with ether and she fired but still won't run. With no codes not sure where to go next
2003 lb7 no start

Did you check the ficm connectors. Unplug them and plug them back in. Maybe wiggle them.
And the connectors that connect the ficm to the injector harness.
And the connectors that connect the ficm to the injector harness.
Checked every connection at ficm and emc. Now for the weird part while going back through every fuse in the block I touched the SIR fuse with my power probe and no power with key on. I wiggled it and heard the door chime go off and probe lit up. Got it truck hit the switch and it fired up! Reset code and after 20 times cranking up no codes! Wth would the SIR have to do with it? I'll keep trying tomorrow but for now it starts every time
No sure how the sir fuse made it start and run but be careful doing so if you back feed the sir to much voltage via powerprobe you could blow the airbags just a disclaimer. I always test sir components and circuits with sir disabled so as to not blow bags just for warning you. You could disconnect batteries and remove the fuse block cover and shield use a 8mm or 10mm and removed connectors from fuse block and inspect the terminals to see if you have corroded terminals or terminals shorting together. Where was the fass tapped in for key on power? Also it's never a good idea to use ether once you use it most diesels I've seen become crack baby's and require it every time for starting. lb7's are higher compression engines than other rpo dmaxs which makes it much harder on them. Have you addressed the ficm connectors as mentioned in an earlier post?
Hey Robby, I only use the power probe for audible check never use it on any computer systems. The fass was put in the ign. 1 fuse when I bought it but I removed it and tied it into the ign inside the vehicle. I don't like those fuse taps. It is still starting so I'll keep up to date if anything changes.
