Isuzu NPR diesel issue

[r8f1k]

Sorry if this is not in the right forum, I just don’t know where to put it. I recently bought a 2003 Isuzu NPR crew cab to use for hauling my equipment. 4HE1-XS engine. Decent shape, did run, but has issues. My problem right now is as follows. I drove it home, died. Wouldn’t restart. Used a towbar and dragged it home. Pushed it into the shop and started the process of replacing the old lift pump. Previous owner provided a new one so I installed a new pump. I also installed an electric fuel pump right above the tank to prime the system. I can bleed the system, but it takes a very long time. Yesterday I was able to get it to run, this morning, nothing. Lost the prime. I can’t get fuel up to the injectors. I pulled the fuel shut off solenoid and bench tested. Works. Tried to put the solenoid back in, nope. I took the little foot off of the solenoid to see if I could get it back in and see if that was the issue. Solenoid back in, still no start. I don’t get fuel up to the injectors and it won’t start. I need to get it running so I can use my laser thermometer to see which injector is bad because she throws white smoke on acceleration. Any ideas?

Crack the line just after the lift pump. There may be a blockage from the tank.

Did you bleed the system at the fuel filter bleeder screw? Did you then crack each injector line and bleed air?
