You definitely have a fuel/air leak somewhere in the system. Check every connection from the tank to the injectors, it's somewhere!

I clamped off the fuel lines before I disconnected them and filled the filter with fuel before I installed it, I got lucky and my truck just fired right up and ran. Your mileage may vary!

Agreed on the fuel filter setup, mine WAS broken so I upgraded rather than use the problematic stock unit. As for the Doghead mod, DO IT! WHEN that relay fails it could also take out the starter, glow plug relay, and the flywheel (if the starter does not engage correctly). WHEN it fails, if you...
