Exclamation cummins wont start after smoke screw adjustment

Truck:
1989 5.9l cummins 12 valve

What happened:

Adjusted the power screw..and accidentally touched the sensor (not sure what it is) that is connected to the injector pump with pliers..and it caused an arc..and the engine shut off immediately. Now it won't start..just turns over.


And ideas how to get her goin again?

Sounds like you hit the fuel shutoff solenoid. Check your fuses...... I don't have a 1989 FSM, someone else might be able to point to which circuit powers the FSS.

Moving this to the first gen section for more visibility.
