Chevrolet 2500 Not Running, May Be Fuel Filter Sensor

Need help starting my 2002 Chevrolet 2500? Duramax Diesel 2002 Chevrolet 2500 Started the truck this morning, ran for two minutes then died. Has power, turns over and is not giving me any computer codes. No dead fuses either. A red wire ontop the fuel filter had come undone so I plugged back in. Still won't run. I primed the and drained the fuel filter a couple times and it is getting fuel. I have a feeling that the truck won't run because of something to do with the Fuel Filter sensor, an ideas? I have same problem with 2001 chevy diesel ran for two min. then quit,wont start. has been showing fuel leakage code when pulling a load or even turning on the air conditioning , before this happen the other night but always reset it self. now not showing any codes ..HELP

    From one day to the next. Just turns over but no signs of life. the day before I was driving for 6 hours with no problems. Bleed filter and no air. plenty of fuel and all the wires are fine including all fuses.

SOURCE: Chevrolet 2500 Not Running, May Be Fuel Filter Sensor

That red wire is only for the fuel heater.will not cause a no start.try pumping the primer pump on top of the fuel flter hsg. but first open the bleed screw,which is black plastic also located on the top.this will eliminate any trapped air that might have entered the fuel intake system.if the pump does not get firmer and harder to push, then you have a leak in the fuel supply lines or the ck valves in the fuel filter hsg or stuck open. Still no start have it scanned to ck fuel pressure while cranking.it should be close to 5000 lbs

2005 Duramax stopped running.replaced fuel filter and sensor,no luck cam you help.

After replacing the fuel filter did you prime the system? There should be a small circular pump on top of the filter assembly to prime it. I own a 2003 Duramax and it usually takes about 5 pumps / turn over / 5 more pumps / turn over / and 5 more and you should get it started. It will take longer if you didn't fill the fuel filter with diesel before installing it as well. Let me know. Thanks.

My 03 duramax started fine this morning but only ran for a fiew minnuts then shut off on its own and now it wii turn over but not start it seems to have fuel pressure can it be cam sensor or crank sensor...

To start with, a Duramax Diesel runs on an excess of 20,000 Psi of fuel pressure. Unless you have some specialized equipment,(and know how to use it) I do not know how you could possibly tell that the fuel pressure is OK.

Duramax Diesels also have had a lot of problems with glow plugs. This could explain why it will not start. Then again, it COULD be something totally different like a bad sensor. This could even be caused by a faulty fuel pressure sensor or a bad fuel pressure regulator.

The best way to find out is to scan the engine computer for fault codes and read the engine data from the computer to see if all of the sensors are providing the correct input to the computer.

2002 chevy 6.6 duramax wont start even in warm weather or after motor is warm..... only starts with starting fluid. codes are p0335/p0193/poo87/p0090

The Duramax fuel filter assembly is bad about sucking air. Replace the fuel filter assembly. It comes with a new fuel filter.
I need some good feedback.

My 2500 duramax diesel dosent want to start

Does it have diesel?
Could be fuel filter or fuel pump.
Glow plugs?
Injectors? these trucks have been known to have bad injectors.
Possibly the oil pump, the injectors run off the oil pump.

2002 chev. duramax starts fine when temp. out side

whens the last time you changed the fuel filter? ther maybe to much water in the filter and the tank, on warmer days the fuel maybe trying to seprate in the filter, when you go to start it you maybe trying to run it on water more then diesel. add a cetien booster to the tank of fuel you have see if that helps

2004 chev 2500 duramax diesel no start and no fuel pressure

primay fuel pump is defective and won't allow the secondary pump to build pressure and causes it to die and has lack of power, most likely it started getting gutless before it happened.
