My Father had his dodge diesel truck do this; basically he lost his prim on
the injection pump due to a crack in the fuel supply line. He would pump it
to start in the morning and then all day was fine under say 4 hrs. Is your
mileage really crappy? His was. YMMV

Subject: [MV] CUCV Starting problem
Hi All,
I am guessing that this is just a dirty fuel filter, but since I
replaced it about 6 months ago,
I am starting to wonder.
Here are the symptoms. If the truck has been standing over night, (I
don't let it sit down on the job), It starts right away, runs for about
20 seconds, and then quits. If I feed it fuel and run the starter
for what feels like a long time, it starts, and then races, (because I
am afraid to let off on the fuel right away).
It is then ok for the rest of the day. ie: I drive to work and then it
starts right up when I get ready
to go home.
If this looks like it is not just a filter problem, I'd be glad to hear
from someone, since if I need to
get something in addition to the filter tomorrow, I'll be prepared.
Thanks as always,
Bruce MVPA 23824
