The person I bought it from was not really up on its history, but somewhat familiar in knowing what it was used for. I have now replaced 2 of the 4 fuel injectors and the lift pump. I am not seeing the amount of fuel I would expect to see at the end of the fuel line. It kind of resembles the squirt you get when you use the windshield washer on you car. I would think it should be much stronger and higher pressure than that. I am not seeing any real smoke from the exhaust either, not black or white. I only replaced 2 fuel injectors because that is all I could get out. The other 2 are frozen in place. I am confident that #2 and #3 have suffiecient compression. While I do not have anything to measure its compression, I noticed that there is a strong pressure emitting when the injector is removed. Not a perfect measure, but a good sign. Fuel flows freely into the pump, so no reason to suspect a clog. My service manual talks about timing the injector pump, but I cannot locate the marking it refers to for identifying number one bore. I suspect my fuel pump may be the issue, but need to ask for opinions before spending $500 plus dollars and looking for someone to fix it. Anyone seen these symptoms? Grateful for any assistance.
