Hi, my 93 Chev 6.5 will run whole day, but when shut down for longer that 15 minutes it will not start. I have to wait for about 3 hours then it will start. It has mechanical pump, no PMD and puring cold water over injection pump makes no difference. Any help will be greatly appreciated.


Thanks

The 4911 DB-2 mechanical is known for hard start hot problems related to the internal transfer pump and worn head and rotor.

Pour a gallon of tap water slowly over the pump. let it sit about a minute or two. Then try. Quantum is right about that year pump . The 4911 model head and rotor had a defect that would appear after the pump was "heat soaked". Only fix is another pump with the updated head and rotor.
