Apologies straight away if I'm done anything incorrectly, or not completed something I should have, as per joining the forum as a new member.
My query, if anyone can help: I have a 1987 90 turbo diesel with 19J engine which has been parked up for about four years. After changes of fluids and filters etc it is now starting and ticking over happily, more or less smoke free. Increasing revs however results in an engine run away (if that's the right expression) ie starts revving ++ with smoke++ Fortunately stops straight away when the fuel cut off on the injection pump is disconnected / ignition switch turned off.
The throttle cable isn't sticking. There is no sign of oil in coolant and no steam escaping from rocker box / breather as per head oil leaks etc. Sump oil level correct and oil drains OK into sump from turbo. Turbo does not have undue wear or signs of oil leaks so I don't think the engine is over-running on engine oil.
Today I took off the inlet manifold and found that it had a puddle of diesel inside so I presume it starts injesting such at increased engine revs initiating the run away.
What is the most likely cause of a diesel puddle in the inlet manifold ??
