IP Problem?

[tantank79]

So here’s the story:

My car was running pretty good for the last couple weeks after getting it back on the road post engine swap (another story in itself). Started right up after one glow, every time. Now, it won’t start.

When the engine went into the car I did the following
-Valves
-Oil & filter
- Primary & secondary fuel filters
-Drained tank and cleaned tank screen, filled with fresh fuel and 1 qt ATF
-Removed EGR (not really relevant though)
-and other stuff I can’t remember right now

Point being, all new fluids and filters, with valves adjusted. Also checked timing chain stretch using the cam marks, which showed 5*ATDC.

Hot compression as follows:
1-280
2-280
3-340
4-280
5-320
I realize these numbers aren’t spectacular, but I don’t consider them to be horrible. I had no problem starting the car, so they didn’t bother me.

Yesterday I decided it would be good to do a diesel purge, so I got everything set up with my extra hoses and a plastic jug in place of the washer tank. The car started up and idled, and revved through the full RPM range just fine. Then when I went to back out of the garage, up our slanted driveway, the car sputtered for a few seconds and died.

To make a long story shorter, I went about cracking various lines after hooking the fuel supply and return back up to the regular fuel tank. I can get fuel up to the primary filter, then out of the banjo bolt feeding the secondary filter, then out of the filter housing. However, when cracking the injector lines at the top of the IP, #1,2 and 3 do not pump fuel. #4 and 5 do pump fuel.

What do y’all think?
