I got the series 3 rebuilt, taxed, insured and thought I was going for a run today. As its just been rebuilt I have only had it really running on tickover , when I tried to accelerate it quickly became apparent I wasn't going anywhere.........
If I connect the diesel return from the injection pump and the pipe from the last injector to the fuel filter where they are supposed to go then it will only just tick over at full throttle.
If I connect these 2 pipes to the spill return to the tank (takes the pressure off) then it will run but very sluggish.
Does this sound like an injection pump problem as there seems to be plenty of diesel getting to the pump and loads going to the return?
I'm stumped now and could do with a bit of help.
Cheers
