I mean I don't see diesel when I open the high pressure pipe at the injector. That's what started all this nonsense.

Hi again, Filled the tank to max and symptoms stay the same. I now found out that short cranking times result better than long ones. Also if I heat the glow plugs 3 or 4 times as suggested, then crank and repeat I also get better result. I ordered a set of BERU glow plugs and will replace...

Because I do not have nanocom or anything i'm depending on someone with limited time to spare but it will be done if it needs to. If I could get my hands on a diagnostic I would very happy! I timed the FIP by Rave's specifications. How can I test the advance solenoid?

Of course I took them all out! How could anything be measured with the wires connecting all to each other? :jaw: I know , I know, you don't know me :) The only mistake I did and I regret it is that I used a cheap Chinese multimeter. Yesterday I replaced the NRV and all the fuel return pipes...

Yes, but is it time or temperature related? ps, my local supplier din't had them available so... I think it's ok. The all kit should live forever anyway... :)

That's what I thought... Well, this was a busy evening and morning. Took the intake manifold off to measure the plugs. Took one out and tested at the battery. RED HOT! Every other were tested by multimeter and all read the same. Changed the stop solenoid but it seemed to be working ok. If...

It was said to me, but I cannot confirm it, that, when out of sinc, you have diesel at the injectors but no fire. I a bit confused about that but only testing will confirm that.

I will check my stop solenoid and then the plugs. I know my plugs. In the old days, my father was a auto electrician. I worked with him quite often. :tea:

Yes, I know that. :) Thanks. I don't think it's glow plugs as I don't have diesel coming out of the FIP. The days that I had no problems starting the engine, the engine started very well, has always, only a 1/4 of revolution to start. If my glow plugs were worn out it wouldn't start that way...

I tried both ways.

I think I will add a fuel pump to my list. Since they go bad, I will try to get ahead of that fault. But I just know something else will dammed me. Should I buy original? can I buy aftermarket?

I did that before. That was one of the first tests. Unclipped the fuel pipe at the filter exit. Diesel pours out while fuel pump is on. I didn't measure but maybe 180ml! :) I have another opinion about the stop solenoid being sticky. Lather I will try and BANG IT with a hammer :5bsmash: and...

Reserve is not on. I have plenty fuel. But I pour in some more. I did this test before. At the filter exit, I got plenty diesel pouring out. If I undo the nut at FIP (diesel in), I got some small drops, put I think it's because I can't undo much of that nut.

3 goes, 4 goes 5 goes. go go go.... and nothing. This morning it won't go. I got no diesel at the exit of the FIP. I could guess I have air getting in the system but from where? And even if I do. Why cant I purge it? I forced the tank fuel pump on at the relay, and it doesn't purge. Maybe...

When it starts, it starts very well. Not lumpy or smoke. When it doesn't start, it just doesn't. I can be 5 seconds on the starter at a time, sometimes more, and it refuses to start. The ignition relay powers what? ECU? I should check for power at ECU...

Hi all, My 1996 P38 diesel refused to start one of these days. It turns over fine and fast as always but no fire. When I tried the next morning it fired right up! A couple of days passed and again same problem. I did a quick check and I have diesel pouring out of the filter port, power at...

I'm a old thread digger... Does this shock arrangement allow for full bump stop compression of the shocks at the rear? Regards

How did you managed this problem? I have also done a engine swap and same thing is appening to me today. Please help!

Can a injector do this? Why? Supposedly all injectors were checked and returned as good enough to work. But It was a fee job with my mechanic in the middle when the head was off the first time... Too much turbo pressure can do this? Look at the other pistons. All of them are fine but the...

So, the problem is this: https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/-81eWdH2qtCjfVwRLYFAbIiaES4l7Et_QkYRUY-cKJA?feat=directlink Any body knows what can cause this?
