Re: Cummins 8.3 not starting

I have tried starting in service bay, but same no start. Hmmmmmm, how does one tell that the solenoid is working, short of unbolting? Which I guess is my next course of action. Two disconnected wires are hooked back up on 85 and 86. I'm going to reprime today and try starting again, if no go I'm goi...

Cummins diesel shut off solenoid

Hello. I have a 1994 Continental with a 8.3 Cummins. Mechanical fuel injection. It has a solenoid on the injector pump with turns on and shuts off the diesel to the motor. At least one of the wires for this solenoid runs to a relay under the bed, next to the isolator. Problem is most likely a critte...

Re: Cummins 8.3 not starting

There is a black wire going to position 30 and a black wire going to position 87a. The other three positions are open. Two spade connectors, one with one yellow wire and one with one black and one red are the ones that got pulled off the relay.

Re: Cummins 8.3 not starting

Thanks for the diagram. I found some last night too. I have two wires that got pulled off the relay, I think by a racoon or squirrel. And three spots on the relay. Funny thing is all the wiring diagrams I saw used 87, not 87a. One of the wires that was still connected to the relay is on 87a. So curr...

Cummins 8.3 not starting

Hello All. I finally made it to the new forum. I have an issue with my 1994 Continental with a 8.3 Cummins. I recently travelled about 1200 miles, no problems. A couple of thousand miles ago I replaced the lift pump on the engine that picks up the diesel to send it to the injection pump. As I said, ...
