94 6.5 truck turns over but will not crank.
3-4 sec. for wait light,
70 degree f,
plenty crank amps and speed, two new charged 900 ca battery's,
starter new three weeks old came off my 97 6.5,
no obstruction in air box or turbo,
195,000 miles,
injection pump supposes to be changed, new parts on it seems to indicate.
ds4 pump
cleared codes then turned engine over, scanned again got #17 & #18
fuel filter new, lift pump two weeks off of 97 6.5,
i will remove grounds clean and reattach tomorrow am,
also will check Vin and erg info tomorrow am,
94 Chevy 6.5 3500 dually
has off road from previous owner truck ran then sat, i removed starter, turbo sensor, till i paid the 800.00 off then we brought it home took two mouths. put parts back on and it would not start.
pmd mounted on pump, unplugged and used 97 pmd/fsd no luck, grounded to pump.
it turns over, lift pump pumps up into filter, prime it good then check to see if fuel getting to ds4 by removing shut off solenoid, fuel pumps out at same volume as filter, uncap fuel line at injector check while cranking and have fuel but concern not enough presser ( unsure ). spray 70/30 diesel to gas and it cranks as long as i can feed it. think pump but know it ran and pump seems new, also don't understand code #17 & #18 also lift pump was straight wired, try ed it the right way and will not work which means oil pump sensor must be bad. please guys help i have try ed every trouble shutting sequence i can think of.

I hope this doesn't mean what I think it does.
What do you mean?

Do you have fuel at the injectors if you crack the lines while cranking? You have fuel coming out of the FSO sol. but is it allowing fuel by? Leo

You need to check the wiring on the IP - there may be burnt/chafed wires from the optic sensor.
Do you have a filter harness on the OS harness? If so, take it out.
Both of these codes are relating to the OS. Disconnect the OS and try starting the truck. It may take upwards of 15 seconds of cranking the engine over before it starts to catch and fire up....
