    diesel, sometimes, wont start (when cold)

    These faults were taken with the engine not fully hot but almost. That water temp value is in ÂșC?

    Yes, I did remove the fuse box altogether so had to remove all the plugs. I have a portable digital oscilloscope. Does any one know what should be the wave pattern that I should be looking for?

    Maybe open the fuse box again and do a full resolder inside the 2 boards? I already opened the fuse box and cleaned all the fuse and relay connectors but did not separate the 2 boards. Where should I start? I have another engine wire loom...:scratching_chin:

    update, Got back home in "my" borrowed Vespa, and here is what I found out. :drum: Start engine with full throttle and revs "only" go to 3000 rpm, hold the pedal down, let it heat up, and slowly holding back on the throttle. After heating up for a while, I was able to get back the...

    No FIP has been taken apart. This fip was working last time it ran. I, as always, followed installation procedure as per rave.

    P38 Diesel Starts revs up to 3000rpm then stalls

    Hi all, After a fuel injection pump swap, my p38 started up a bit rough but good enough to drive. Lack of power was noticeable at a climb. This morning, it starts right off but revs up to 3000 rpm then stalls. Is this a symptom of something known? Best regards.

    That's interesting. My high temp alarm triggers a audible alarm. I was thinking of adding a button to run the fans but parallel to that I think I will run them with the alarm trigger. Ohhh this is going off topic.:eek:

    The A/C on mine, (1996) has a sensor on the heater pipe.

    I need to confirm this but I think one coolant temp sensor goes to to ECM and the other goes to Becm. This is interesting because I built a low coolant/high temperature alarm. I'ts been working as expected, for a year by now. It is a high impedance input device so it should not interfere with...

    Hi everyone, The problem seem to be gone again, without any intervention besides a full tank of diesel. 3 cold starts with normal start behaviour.

    Now, leaving work, only 2 times on the glow plugs and it started right off, without hesitation like the problem never happened.:confused: Bad fuel? I use the same fuel from the same petrol station for along time now without any problems. They say at the balcony that it is additivated diesel...

    Well "work" goes from "just work" to "work very well". Like the assumption I did about the glow plugs either work or don't. I't seems that it isn't always that way. They can be somewhere in between.
