Starting Issues

[MattF]

Just taken a pic to show what should be the sensor you're looking for. It's the part circled in blue.



The part circled in green is the glowplug resistor.


Edit: I'm working from other peoples placement descriptions as to what's what, so if I've highlighted the wrong parts, I'm awaiting corrections.

Settings are generally stored in NVRAM. There should be absolutley no need whatsoever for anyone to resync the alarm and transmitter after a simple battery disconnect.

generally yes,but his may not,plz read my post properly first ty

[MattF]

from the look of that connector it might be someones done a mod on mine and sent it up to the thermostat housing

Doubtful. Whatever is connected round the front of your housing is the addition. Those two connections in your pic are the standard fitments. Coolant sensor will definitely be in the side of the block. It wouldn't be accurate if it was placed remotely.

No idea, offhand. Unplug each and find out what works, (or doesn't), respectively.

hi,

follow up,

changed glow plugs, checked all resistances, replaced fuel filter,

but still problem.

where first thing when cold, left overnight,

turn over, no smoke whatsoever. not trying to fire, wont start on easystart,

the lift pump is spongy, my friend took a pipe off going to it sucked it up till diesel in his mouth, put it bk on, lift pump was hard.

some days it starts fine, odd day wont, it just turns over till batteries die!

Diaphram in the primer split alowing diesel to drain back to the tank?

Does it get stiffer when you've pumped it a few times?

gradually gets stiffer after about 15-20 pumps,

twice done it today now.

7am this morning, 3 lots turning over no, went and primed it up, 15-20 pumps, turned over, started to fire, fired and started, very rough start then cleared, guessing the fuel had made its way through?

12.45am exactly the same as the morning.

I'm with Vince on that one !!!
A tip to check ...If ya can !!!! park ya Truck facing down hill overnight, in the morning she should start !! (no draining back to tank)

There's always a Payback .... Ya don't know where n ya never know when !!!!

[scourslane]

so what does the primer/lift pump actually do? i thought the diesel pump did all the work,

This may explain ...

It should only need about five or six pumps.

seems like its sucking air when im pumping as well,

It'll be a split diaphram then.


Are the hoses that are connected to the primer/filter housing secure?

it seems to be, rich is sending me a new lift pump round so will check it out when it arrives :-)
