Help Required Please. 1992 2.5Tdi 90 High Reving on start " Won't Idle"

Hello again,

Good news, engine is running
Just to mention, I am DIY home Mechanic & this is my first Defender. Learning as I go & great to have access to this forum.

Next challenge I have .
When engine starts, it goes straight to high revs so I have to turn off ignition.

Accelerator has no effect.

If anyone could point me in right direction please

Thank you

Look at the mechanism on the injector pump first. Is it going back to the stop? Throttle cable might just need slacking off.

Hello,
Yes, mechanism is returning to stop ok.
I also removed throttle cable so as to be sure.
Thank you for your reply
