[Vwdiesel] OT, problem with a different diesel engine

[LBaird119@aol.com]

  When the check valve fitting at the return line, on my 6.2s pump was 
pluggged, they do the opposite.  I'd lose power and engine speed until I 
was sitting on the side of the road at an idle and then die.  Wait a few and 
it'd start, maybe go a couple hundred feet and die down again.  Thought it 
was a plugged fuel filter.  Turns out high pressure in the pump shuts it 
down so therefore low pressure would crank it up.  Sort of the opposite of 
what you'd expect!
