what kind of pressure am i soposed to have at the injector pump

on a 1987 300sdl

the small mechanical lift pump doesnt produce that much pressure... most of it comes from gravity and the little lif tpump helps.. what is your issue? Is it the small bubble in the pre filter

we got the little bit of pressure going to the injection pump but nothing comming out of the lines going to the injectors
now would that be due to a timing issue or a bad injector pump

you mean the hard lines... Is the car starting?

Crack open the injection lines at the injector and crank for 30 second intervals with 2 minute breaks inbetween for the starter to cool.. once you get fuel splurting from the cracked lines at the injectors all air is purged from the lines.. tighten the lines and crank to start..

car will not start had to get towed home, did that already did that with no sucess.

another question.. was it towed on a bed or towed with the rears on the ground.. If I wasnt 2 hours away I would come out friday and help you with it but I cant this week

it was on flat bed. thanks for all your input!!

You've been driving it previously up until the no start? Or is it a new to you vehicle or been sitting a long time?

If driving previously, hows old is the secondary fuel filter?
