Tranny Fluid leaking out Vent activating 4x4,and other issue

So my truck was in a minor front end collision a few months back and unfortunately due to funds and not wanting to spend 3k to have the front end rebuilt by some shop, I took on the task of replacing the Front core support and rebuilding the front end myself. Was a minor crash, mainly the damage was...

Re: fuel pressure check for leaking injectors

distributor never came out when changing the fuel injection system and it ran before. We have spark. It seems to be a fuel issue.

Re: fuel pressure check for leaking injectors

Replaced old CSPI Fuel Injection with the new style and now have a no start issue.

Can't win with this thing.

Anyone bored who can take some photos around the top of their motor for me. I have two nuts left and can't figure out where they go.

Re: fuel pressure check for leaking injectors

so compression checked revealed 210 across all 6 cylinders. I'm assuming a bit high from the the normal 180lbs from carbon buildup in the cylinders. But we did find that disconnecting cylinders 3 and 4 had absolutely no effect on the motor other wise meaning they are not forming combustion. Now for ...

How do you like Torque? Does it it show you Oil Pressure? Thats the only PID I can't seem to display and the the trucks dash as a oil pressure gauge which I would hardly believe could be mechanical so the ECU has to be providing that info. Just can't seem to tap into it. still trying though.
