It's not hot enough yet, check at 95 Deg, you may/will have to remove the fan but you're good at that nowTiming mod
Timing mod
Modulation is too high, at that engine temperature it should be well below 50%Timing mod
If the modulation is correct, you will not need the hot start mod. Modulation influences fuelling at all times. When I got the modulation spot on 50% at 95C, it not only started better, it would flatten the battery trying to hot start before, but it also felt sharper and fuel economy was marginally better. Maybe my imagination but I think the engine is quieter too.I get up to 95-96 while moving so perhaps i can get the timing mod then. As long as converter aint locked and i give throttle i guess?
96 celsius whilst moving at 70-90kmh and -3 ambient. Hot in my head
so my modulation is to high, what would rhe symptoms be of this? I do have hotstart kit fixed and starts like a charm at hot engine now atleast.. But i read timing modulation does not matter while engine is running?
Or that it was 2 different timing modulations, one static and the fip electronic to fine adjust?
Chain is prob stretched and fip probably even seen better days but, could a timing modulation fix any other issues than just hot start issues?
Get your modulation number at 90/95 degrees @750rpm and post it up.
really sounds like we had/have same issueOnce static timing was set my engine was quieter, more power, easier starting. Everything chimes in tidy
Too high but not as bad as mine was.this is at 90.3 degrees idle
Yes a 2.5 dieselreally sounds like we had/have same issue

Its an easier job than the waterpump fiascoI've asked people in my region if they are able to help me with this.
I dont feel like i want to fiddle with my fip when someone who has done it before can do it for me easier.
Some things i just cant bother doing myself..
What should i pay for a job like this anyhow? I guess its 2-3 hours work? Maybe more if you've never done it before?
Hard starting with hot is the first symptom. If yours is fine I'd leave it alone until it becomes a problem. If it goes really high it will start stalling as you lift off the throttle and after that it might jump a tooth and wreck the valves but that is rare.
