Answer

Yes have them check the wires to the IPR(injection pressure regulator),I have seen them get oil soaked and then the wires will break after the insulation gets soft.

what about the high pressure oil pump?

Posted by Diesel Doc 390 days and 3 hours ago.

Answer

The high pressure pump usually creates a no start or hard start hot condition,you could have them monitor ICP pressure when it is running and then stall to see if it drops below 400psi.
