E7 300 won't start

I don't know E-7 engines but the shutdown solenoid should be on the injection pump itself as that is where the fuel cutoff takes place. Does the engine crank with the starter? Do you have normal indications with dash lights, buzzers, normal power up sequence when you go to the "On" position of the ignition switch but don't start the truck? Once you find the shutdown solenoid, it should only have voltage applied to it when the ignition key is in the "On" position. If you don't have voltage at this condition, start backtracking in that circuit.

The engine cranks normally.

I have fuel to the injection pump.

When I turn the key on, everything seems normal. The engine warning light proves out within 10 seconds and I can hear and feel all the relays click in the dash panel.

I have looked at the pump but I'm not sure where the cutoff solenoid is.

I found the injection timing actuator and the "cam" sensor.

That engine "may" have a crankshaft position sensor too. I don't know but if it does that fuel shutoff solenoid may not engage if the crankshaft position sensor does not sense crankshaft rotation. Again I don't know the electronic engines very well but automobiles operate that way.

The elab valve engages with the turn of the switch the engine should run with out the rpm sensor it will not run without the timing event marker on the pump but will throw a code and the check engine light will be on for both i believe ! Most often  By what your describing the rack control has gone west in these cases the pump has to come of and sent to a Bosch Fuel pump shop and parts replaced!

Sounds like the mechanical rack is positioned by a balanced triac assembly inside the injection pump? Basically the variable resistance offered by the electronic accelerator pedal drives a positioning circuit inside the pump to operate the rack. Pretty simple design but I'm sure there are a lots of proprietary parts involved.

Never been around anything like that so only guessing on my part.

Googling Mack ELAB, I was shocked to learn that Allison Mack is actually a dominatrix sex slave master! :o

But no luck finding anything helpful in diaging my truck.

Is that solenoid on the back of the injection pump?

I'd like to be sure that there are no chewed wires before I go pulling the injection pump off.

The sex slave valve :rolleyes: was mounted on the fuel rail incoming line on the older first gen  engines  yours may not have it' it was done away with after a few years! In my opinion as long as your ecu fuses  are good and the connections at the firewall  pass thru are good no worn thru wires ect: you need to pull the pump and have it repaired! the rack controller is likely toast!:angry:

OK I'll double check all the wires and fuses (breakers) carefully.

If the rack controller is bad, would there be a fault code?

Also, can you verify the flashout procedure for me? I know that the cruise control switch triggers that function but I'm not sure if I'm doing it correctly.

:New sig! I am a slave to my trucks! :mellow:
