The truck was parked facing down hill with very little fuel in the tank (the trip meter said 45 miles to empty). It started right up, pulled away from the curb and started missing. Got to the bottom of the hill and pulled over to see if it would clean out. No luck. Parked the truck and went back the next day with 5 gallons of diesel to see if it maybe sucked some air into the lines. It took about 15 minutes to get it to start again. Once it started, we limped it home (about 6 miles) and parked it. I have since changed the fuel filter, cam position sensor and pulled the valve covers to make sure the plastic injector clips did not break. Still no luck. Does anyone have an informed idea as to what might be causing the problem? Next, I am going to pull the fuel lines at the pump and make sure they are not clogged. Any good advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It does sound like air,but it could have picked up some trash from the bottom of the tank being almost empty and parked on a slope.
