History of this truck.

Bought at used car dealer for $1500 NONRUNNING.

Fuel light were ON they run out of fuel DRY. No fuel in fuel filter housing.

Oil look like black COAL but oil sticker on window is 4K miles later for oil change. Only 1K miles on oil.

Won't start itself without plug block heater for 1 hour. New glow plugs and relay never fixed it. It gotten worse later. Replaced couple injectors so it fine.

On GPH thingy If I notice while you cruise down 35 mph and off gas pedal it go down around .30-.58 when you are stop it go up 1.09 gph in gear.

I will check idle rpm with scan gauge tonight or tomorrow.

EBPv is unplug since I bought it was leak oil and no power when I need GO. Could you get picture of your EBPS in closed so I could see if mine is open or closed.
