In a combustion chamber, there are only four places for the compression to escape: through a leak in the combustion chamber cracked head or leaking head gasket , through a leaking intake valve, through a leaking exhaust valve or through a leak in a piston or piston rings. It should be between 90 and 110 psi. Generally there is a good reason why a repair costs what it does. Battery voltage should be between 12 and 13. The first time the starter turned the engine, the engine fired right up and ran smooth. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
It ran great, until next morning i went to start and it would not fire. One clue that is sticking in my mind is the engine stall when rounding a left-hand corner. If that isn't available, provide all you know and explain why. Turns out it would run and draw fuel until the sock filter would plug solid and stall. I find it easier to find where the compression went and in these cases, it is easy to check for pressure pulses in the intake manifold, the exhaust pipe, the engine crank case or in the engine cooling system. If you replace the controller insure you wait about ten minutes for it to adjust to the temp. This isnt a place to post your youtube channel 5 Mark Solved.
In addition, what makes this job a real pain is you have to remove the timing cover, which involves removing some of the accessory bracketry depending on your accessories. I am a little reluctant to grab a can of starting fluid and start spraying it into the air intake. Without an electrical connection, this pressure regulator will never close to build the proper oil pressure to operate the injectors. Select one of the options below to filter by 'Solved' or 'Unsolved' posts. Even if the battery still turns the vehicle over, voltage below this value will not activate the electronic control module or the fuel injectors. If it's got wheels, treads, floats, flies, or has an engine you're good to go. Tap the top of the fuel tank lightly with a piece of wood or rubber mallet and see if the pump unsticks.
This is easier with 2 people. In 1984 they went to a different style controller. Welcome to the diesel Doctor discussion Board and Forum! If there are any splices or repairs of the large wires between the starter and batteries, replace the entire wire. Both mount at the rear of the engine on the cylinder head. That is located on the fender inside the engine compartment passenger side I think. Do not use open end wrench.
The lines should be aligned. Aug 06, 2011 Hi, If you plan on keeping the van with the 6. If it still doesn't start I suggest you carry out a compression check because diesel engines need to be in good condition to start easily, especially in cold weather If it is a petrol engine, there could be problems with engine timing or ignition problems. So I was going to disconnect the fuel line leaving the pump and crank the engine, see if I get air being pushed out if so, it would seems like a fuel line or connection is leaking air. Behind the manifold is where the fuel filter is located. Those who continually cause issue will be removed 2a One Incident per Thread.
Grounding issues sometimes cause this. Most diesel engines need a minimum cranking speed of 150 rpm. If your 1983 is original it uses this controller The relay is also readily available at any parts store. But there is one that has a temp sensor where the glow plug controller went, and others that don't use the controller or temp sensor so I need to know what one you have. I would bet you have a few plugs failed. Click here' and select the option for Solved and save.
I don't remember which terminals to test on it, but if you test the plugs and the relay first it should tell you if the controller is bad. I wait a little while, come back to try it again and the clicks are gone and it is slowly trying to turn over but it is sounds as if the batteries have died or are about to die. You can't really test the starter without both batteries in good shape and the terminals clean and tight. Please check the fuel,fuel filter and the fuel pressure at the pump. I'm looking for some help since I can't afford to take it to the shop and my wife is tired of it just sitting there. The Haynes Manual for the diesel gives a simple step by step guide to trouble shoot the glow plug system.
Consult a professional for proper diagnosis and repair options. Also check power to the fuel pump, and ensure that the fuel pump relay is working. The cylinder readings should all fall within specifications, and should not vary by more than 5 percent. Replacement of the existing glow plug inhibit switch with a new service switch without a coolant temperature sensor listed below win provide glow plug assistance upon engine start, regardless of engine coolant temperatures. There is your problem- your glow plug system has an issue. Check the connections for leaks and loose fitting as well as any obvious fuel leaks. The best time to use the scan data to snoop out a high pressure oil leak is when the engine oil is hot and the engine is idling.
If it is an old one, I will bet your glow plug controller is bad. Back in the day of the mechanical fuel injection systems, it was easy to loosen a high pressure fuel injection line and see if fuel was being delivered to the fuel injectors. It was getting a spark and fuel so it drove me crazy trying to solve the problem. I don't know where the fuel filters are located on this vehicle so I can't check for clogged filters and I haven't yet pulled a fuel line to verify if the fuel pump is working properly. I have had a few in my life time.
The odometer shows it has traveled 98,000 miles. On the firewall, drivers side, is a protective control box, a black box with cannon plugs where the wiring goes in. We're pretty flexible and we even enjoy a bit of humor now and again. Before going after the starter, take it to a parts store and have the batteries tested most part stores will do it for free but you may have to disconnect one of them first. The resistance should read between 0. If you are getting power to the plugs then check the individual plus by connecting a test light to positive power then touching the terminals on each glow plug with the connector off.
