The DS-4 injection pump doesn't like to run hot as it is cooled by the fuel flowing through it as well as lubricated by it as well. They really need a minumum of 2PSI at all times to make them live and function properly. When teh lift pump fails it causees it to run under vacuum and can cause teh injection pump to fail as it will eat up the internal seals. Normally it took out the PMD/FSD before any pump damage occurred though in a stock application. Also pin F of the ALDL plug can be jumpered to 12V+ and make the lift pump run for testing purposes, or you can check it for power while it is running to see if the pump is getting power.

it's only done this twice to me. but you know last time when it wouldn't restart i don't remember hearing the lift pump when i first turned on the key but when it did start i heard it. hum maybe it's just a bad lift pump. it is original lift pump too.
