Best of luck.
I agree with the rust comment. The Fuel Injection Pump an Rust up over night.

If what I suggested in my previous post does not work I would be thinking the there was rust in the Element and The Fuel Injection Pump Camshaft pushed up the Plunger in the Element and wedged it so it is stuck at the top of travel.

The Plunger has a Spring to return it but I have seen them stuck before like that.

If that happens to be that case there is a way to free up the Plunger but I do not want to mention it until the Guy who started the thread tells the other stuff I suggested did not work.
