Vs Ute 3.8
Hey all. Got this Vs Ute that I’ve spent all day and night trying to fix but it’s just no havin it. I replaced the fuel pump cause he old one was shot. I replaced the whole intake manifold and injectors and rail cleaned out the lines as best I could and fuel won’t get to be injectors to fire. Aswell as when we were cranking the Ute all of a sudden it’s stopped wouldn’t crank anymore have sorted that out by bypassing the starter but with the key is still won’t crank and I don’t think the thurmo fans run either when turning the key the oil. Engine and park break lights stay on any help would be great. Thanks in advance

Split the manifold, place jars under each injector and crank. This will tell you if you have fuel.

Honestly sounds like something else is going on to be having this much trouble.

Start at the tank, disconnect the fuel line and test the pump, if you have fuel there than check at the fuel line in the engine bay etc.

I'd make up a test lead with a switch, hook it onto the battery and place into the relay base so you can power the fuel pump without needing to turn on the ignition or continuously crank the engine.

Start basic, can you hear pump prime when you turn the key to 'on' (not ignition)?
