I have a 6.2 L in a 1982 Winnebago. Firstly let me say I have had this rig for nearly 8 Mos with little problems with the engine till recently. I'm using the Haynes 6.2L Repair Manual. First off I started noticing that I needed to have the vacum assist switch to start it, not just when it was cold. then I accidently cracked the FROM the return of the Fuel Injecton pump, at that time I had a manual fuel pump, I bypassed it with a high volume electric pump I hooked up a plastic hose to the return and was able to see the air bubbles in the fuel move through, eventually they got smaller and stopped all together, I eventually got it started after bleediing 4 injector lines on one side and then the other side and changing the primary and secondary fuel filters which were sucking air as well. I found out that there was a crack in the TO line of the secondary fuel filter and it was sucking a little air. I drove it as is, it died after a block, started again and I could only drive it with the vacum switch out. After driving a few miles I couldn't start it again. I replaced that line, which had a cold start sensor on it, with just regular fuel hose, but I couldn't get it started so I was towed back and I have not been able to start it since. I have changed the manual pump and I just discovered I had two bad glow lplugs, which I have replaced. Someone told me that if you squirt WD40 and crank it should help the air out. One thing that is different is that Unless I crank the engine I don't see any fuel moving through the return like I did before I started it, also I notice that there is pressure at the fitting of the to line of the secondary filter, which is supposed to be symptomatic of a clogged fillter, but that can't be since It's very new. I'm at a loss. I'm suspicious of the EFI pump since it was overhauled about 4 years ago and the governor weight retainer ring is missing, The air and fuel only moves when you crank the engine. I tested the Roosa Master DB2 pump but just checking for the click as the book says, I don't have the gauge that is required to hook up to the tap to check the pressure and I don't know where to get one and the adapter, that is if I need it. I was told not to condemn the pump just yet, but I don't have any way to know if it's working right, although fuel and air do come out of the injector lines when you crank the motor. One thing I have not tested and suspect is the Fuel shut off solenoid, I really wonder why with a high pressure electric fuel pump and the EFI pump switch on that I don't see any fuel or air moving through the return line without cranking the motor, maybe I"m missing something? Will I be able to get this motor started again?
Sorry for so much info but I wanted to cover every detail, also sorry if this is off topic. Hope someone can help. :)
