Funny thing... just had one of those probs in the shop. 700 1989

I just had a 760T in the shop yesterday, that was almost a no-start. But it WOULD start, after a while, and it would run like utter crap.

At some point, someone threw a shitpot of new parts at this poor thing. They put in a new crank sensor, after breaking the bracket and having to take the trans out. they put in a new engine coolant temperature sensor as well. Of course, none of this worked.

Anyway, I replaced the in-tank pump. No good. Then the main. And that was the problem (dealer vehicle, so no charge for the in-tank pump to the customer).

Took forever to get started before replacing the main pump. That is a sign of a worn pump. It probably gets too hot and craps out. Then it is a pain to get running. But ultimately when it cools off it isn't too bad.

Sometimes you can tell a bad fuel pump by the exhaust smell. I can't describe it, but it is a very lean smelling exhaust. Unmistakeable, in fact.

If it was me... I'd center my investigation on fuel pressure, and the main pump.
