Update- i took the filter housing completely apart, cleaned and inspected everything and put an oring on the end of the bleeder screw. I was getting better fuel pressure but only running about 65-75 at idle. I put clear hoses inline to make sure I wasn’t sucking air and getting adequate fuel to the transfer pump, nothing changed.
I put a new transfer pump and now I’m getting around 70 psi while starting but it will not be crank. I can spray the slightest amount of ether and it fires right up, it doesn’t smoke or anything. With the new pump I’m getting around 90 psi but it is very sporadic my fuel gauge needle is jumping like crazy. (Did this with old pump also)
I’m lost. What can I check now? Isn’t much left expect injectors.
C15 starting issues.

Is it turning over fast enough? Batteries and starter good? Do you get a check engine light when you turn the key on? Wondering if you could have a power supply issue that the ecm isn't getting power until it's running for some reason? Just kinda thinking out loud
Oxbow Thanks this. -

Oxbow Thanks this. -
Just seems odd that a whiff of either will get it to fire. I think it could be that while cranking you aren't getting power to the ecm. But I'm no expert.

Had a mechanic come out with ET and there weren’t any codes and he said he didn’t notice anything out of the norm but that he wasn’t just real familiar with the acert engine. What are some key things that I can have him check with the ET that would prevent it from cranking?
I've replaced the cam shaft sensor and the crank sensor with no luck. -
Probably need to watch ET while it's cranking to see if something is missing. Crank or cam sensor speed readings. Or whatever else it needs to see to fire injectorsOxbow Thanks this. -
