HELP - 8V92 will not start

[Curt Sprenger]

Sounds like an air in the fuel line problem, prime going away. Once a diesel starts it should run until there is no fuel/air feeding the engine.

Could it be a low coolant sensor causing shutdown?

No accelerator indicates no air pressure, is the air pressure building?

I disconnected all ground and power wires and cleaned the connections.
No effect.
The engine runs for 10 -15 -20 seconds after the key is released.
But runs about 500 RPM then dies. Accelerator had no effect during
the short run time.
