fuel pump timing on a 2LTE

[dieselboy]

To be pedantic for a few seconds; that's impossible...

if you can get to one, im not joking or trying to be funny. its what they are like. ive driven a handfull now and every one starts the same. even from freezing cold temperatures outside.

Mine starts like that.

Less than half an engine revolution and it's started?

[Albannach]

Right, I seem to be mistaken here.

I always thought Diesel engines, bar failure, had to be starved of fuel to stop. Therefore, in a perfect world it would need at least one induction followed by one compression stroke (on the same cylinder) to start. How does the LC engine combine those 2 strokes into les than half a revolution?

i really dont know, i get you when you say about diesels have to be starved.. otherwise if diesel kept entering the cylinder then it would keep getting burned.

may be it has something to do with them having 6 cylinders?

That doesn't matter, as far as I am aware, each cylinder needs to do 2 full strokes before it fires.

may be toyota sprinkled the 4.2 land cruisers with fairy dust as they left the factory.

[Albannach]

That's the only explanation.
