Hiya Guys,
I'm changing the seals (/+washers etc) on the fuel injectors of my 03 auto td5 disco 2. I'm worried about the engine running away when I get everything going again, apparently this can be caused by diesel getting some where it shouldn't? (I'm too stupid to figure out where that is). Please could I ask 4 questions based on this.
1) Where exactly is it that the diesel shouldn't be getting? "The head"? which part of the engine is that? The same 'compartment' that the injector harness is located in? If not where?
2) is this a viable method to prevent the above happening: Disconnect the fuel lines from the fuel pressure regulator before removing Injectors.
If not why not?
If so, how can I be assured that this method has worked? Is there any way to check I've done this correctly? Anything that would indicate I have not?
3) is this a viable method to prevent above: once everything in engine is back together, disconnect fuel pump relay/fuse, then turn the engine over with key. Gently/not for too long. Thereby burning any excess fuel.
If not why not?
If so, how can I be sure I've done it right?
4) are there any other methods for achieving this? Is there anything else I should be aware of?
The area of the engine exposed by removing the rocker cover (IE where the injector harness, etc is). Is covered with oil or diesel. Not sure if that's relevant?/it's supposed to be like that.
