My rodeo diesel just stopped while driving the engine fuse is ok, fuel primer is tight but there is no fuel to the injectors. It sounds like the fuel solenoid is clicking. How do I fix it?

Hello,

If you can hear the fuel solenoid/regulator, that means the solenoid is getting power but may not be producing the output it is designed to do. It could have a internal fault and is inoperative.

Can you hear the fuel pump come on, when you turn the key to the on position? Usually you can hear the fuel pump cycle for few seconds after turning the ignition to the On position.

If the pump is functional but you are not getting any fuel to the injectors then the pressure regulator is faulty.

You also want to make sure that injectors are getting power as well.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
