glow plugs didnt fix it!!

[lloydy7]

hi guys me again. i posted a while back about my surf running really lumpy when she first starts up in the morning lots of black smoke and sometimes stalls if i dont have the revs up for a bit.
it only takes about 20 seconds at 1500rpm to clear it then she runs fine no lumps or smoke.
i thought this may be a glow plug issue but i replaced the plugs and relay today and the problem is still there. its made no difference at all.
does anyone have any thoughts or do i need to get a proper compression check and check things are ok in there.

also tried to fix my leaky rocker cover but not sure if i have fixed it or not lol still smells a bit oily.

oh and talking of rocker covers lol really black and gunky in the rocker cover maybe just needs a few oil changes but want to fix the more pressing things before servicing. any ideas be gladly appreciated.

Is the 80 amp fuse OK?

Is the 80 amp fuse OK?

i have had my test lamp on the glow plugs the lamp comes on and goes of when click from relay so im thinking no probs there.

Test lamp is no good, there are 2 voltages at the bus bar.

Have you checked the fuel filter and EGR?

Anyway, look HERE and once you've checked everything properly, come back with a list of what you've tried and what the results of the tests were.

batteries, 'earth' leak, fuel filter, plugs.

batteries my bet. if you are on 2 batteries, a bad one will drag the good down.

discconnect one battery, try it, do the same for the other, try it, remove both and get a jump from a mate with a diesel.

see what happens - might shed some light.
