04 sedona wont start after changing diesel filter!

we are usa forum
with no 2002 Cherokee here.
ended in 2001. here
not that diesel.
your ran the tank dry of diesel
so the system needed to be re-primed,
(learn how, or get car fixed)

Did you prime the filter , dispels always need primed when changing fuel filters , this means to fill the filter and put it back on could be air bound bleed the fuel system too

the system may just need to be primed

on a ford mondeo 08 the fuel filter is at the rear of car u take old filter put in new one fill with fuel put back together then put a pipe on feed [there might be a bleed niple on top that will be easier] suck till fuel comes out conect pipe back turn ignition on for 15 seconds 3 times to clear air then start done

This one is easy. When you remove the filter for service and are ready to install the new filter, fill the filter with transmission fluid. Yes, you read that right, transmission fluid. I am an ASE certified master technician, this will stop the air bubbles that are introduced into the fuel system, and causing the fuel system to lose it's prime.

Since the air is already introduced into your system, on the side of the engine (driver's mostly on the same area of the filter) there is a rubber boot covering a PRIMING button. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START YOUR TRUCK AT THIS TIME!!! DIESEL FUEL IS UNDER EXTREME PRESSURE WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES!!! PLEASE, pay attention to this warning!! crack the seal on the filter open, remove the filter, fill the filter with transmission fluid, re-install the filter, and then prepare yourself to push that rubber button for some time, perhaps as long as five to ten minutes. When the button gets extremely hard to push, the system should be primed. Remove all tools and your hands from area, and attempt to start the engine. If it doesn't start, go back to the rubber button, and reprime the fuel system. Sometimes the process may take as many as ten attempts before it starts.

Hope it helps!

i have tried a search and i cannot find where the 02 sedona offered a diesel option motor, i found only one available motor and that was a 3.5 sfi , well that pump is in the tank. Did you try and put diesel fuel in this vehicle? as it wont run on diesel.and its possible it fried the pump. but you will have to drain tank and flush fuel lines if this is the case.

if you were low on diesel you need to put atleast 10ltrs in and then prime the pump buy pumping the top of the filter and remember to open the air blead once you have fuel coming out of the blead valve it should start however if you have cranked the engine over afewtimes as most do you will need a jumpstart as it take a lot to restart and get the air out of the injectors hope this helps

Yes it could be the pump, but also it could be a leaking injector or a clogged up diesel filter.

If the injectors are leaking they will be sucking in air and forcing the fuel back to the tank,

you can pour water around each injector to see if any are bubbling. Get the fuel filter changed and have the system bled through before replacing the fuel pump. they are very expensive.

Hope this helps

if the immo light doesnt come on it means the ecu has left the immobilizer on. it is a commen fault on kia. if you lock and unlock the car or sometimes just take the key out the ignition then put it back in it sorts the problem. if you dont see the IMMO light dont attempt to start it because it wont fire

the car will not start if the immo light is not lit. sometimes turning the key back and forth or removing it and locking then unlocking the car can sometimes remedy this.
