Bleeding/Priming problem 1KZ-TE

[JDM-GTFour]

Hi all,

I replaced the plenum and intake on the 1kzte.. I had to disconnect the lines from pump to injectors to get the job done.

Before starting the change everything was running fine.

Now I cannot get the lines bled up to the injectors.. I have cracked the lines at injectors so the air can release, pumped the primer and turned the engine over

too many times to count.. no diesel is coming out of the lines.. the manual I have for the engine/hilux is of no help.

Is there something Im missing here? A nut to crack on the pump? A screw or something on the pump to help the bleed?

Thanks for any advice

Is any fuel getting up to the pump in the first place? The primer/lift pump may not be doing its job.

Yes there is diesel getting into the primer and pump.. I have checked by removing the outlet hose and diesel comes out when push on primer.

Hi mate,

You have to fill up the fuel filter first before you get fuel to the injector pump.

You should find a little bleeder screw on the filter housing and maybe also on the pump.

It's always a good idea to check for the less obvious reasons why something isn't working... like a fuse...

The End..
