hey so my buddy just called me up, he has a 1997 12valve and if he lets his truck sit over night, or for longer than 5 hours than his truck wont start for 5 to 10 mins.
after it starts there is some white smoke and after it warms up it runs great
any ideas :shrug:
No if you stick your arm down on the side of the block and find the pump you should feel a big rubber "bulb" push that till you hear the overflow valve in the P-Pump squeal ......
This is likely it,the return lines rot out easily.They are a pain to get to.They are behind the fuel filter and run down to the metal lines on the frame rails under the truck.Get a flashlight,and look behind the filter housing,for the lines cracked,and possibly wet.It is likely losing prime when it sits.
