    Starting Problem

    Well I was on my way home from work which is 45 miles away and I was 3 miles away from my destination. I had previously drove it for about 400 miles before it just quit on me. I'd have to rule out timing b/c It started previously. Compression? maybe. I need to find a diesel compression gauge. I...

    Starting Problem

    Yes puzzling indeed. How does the return line system on this truck work? I see that while cranking I have fuel coming from the IP with the return line removed and the return line what Is the flow pattern. You say gravity feed the IP? Will that work with having no pressure behind it?

    Starting Problem

    The WTS light stays on for about 5 seconds. What is normal? NO Way you have to timersert a M54? That never happens. J/K. Here is another puzzling fact. When loosening the injector fittings the only one that has fuel com out is number 5. No other injector fittings have fuel come out. How can that...

    Starting Problem

    yeah tell me about it. At this point I'd rather be diagnosing a Vanos. This is driving me nuts. If i'm getting fuel which I assume I am b/c of the white smoke and my glowplugs are working I assume this b/c the truck started before. Why is it not starting? The only thing I can think of is...

    Starting Problem

    No I have not tried plugging the block heater in. The truck is in an apartment complex with no access to electricity to plug it in. Where can I get a compression gauge that will fit this motor at a price that won't kill my wallet. Funds are extremely tight.

    Starting Problem

    Low compression in one cylinder wouldn't cause the engine not to start though would it? Where can I get a cheap and decent compression gauge? I know cheap and decent usually don't exist together.

    I have seen in previous posts that the white smoke is fuel? Is this correct?

    Starting Problem

    Ok, so I charged my battery's last night and got some motivation to try to get this thing started. I noticed that while cranking I'm getting white smoke out the tail pipe. The thing does not even try to start. Pulled the dipstick to check oil and it's oil. No milk. Also removed the radiator cap...

    Starter conversion

    I was just at advanced autoparts and that is a Mitsu. The spec sheet with the starter specifically states so.

    I laugh that you say I have some mechanical ability b/c I am a BMW technician. It's funny how we assume that some people have no idea.

    Starting Problem

    Ok, before I took off the fuel line to the IP I tried to bleed the IP by loosening the injector lines and cranking with wide open throttle and I was getting nothing at the injectors. This is why I decided to pull the supply line at the IP. I am so confused this makes no sense to me. When the...

    Starting Problem

    Ok, so after installing new pump and attempting to bleed and still no start, I decided to go back to basics. I pulled the fuel supply line to the IP and found that during cranking the fuel going to the IP was no constant. It would pulse. By this I mean I would have a nice steady stream for about...

    Starter conversion

    I have a noob question here. Is it possible to go from a direct drive starter to a gear reduction starter? Is there any pros and cons to doing this?

    Starting Problem

    Ok, installed new pump and same thing. NO START AHHHHHHHHHHH. Ok, now what. I went back to basics. I know I am getting fuel to the IP with correct pressure and volume. I have fuel coming out of the return line to the IP and out of the fitting on top of the IP. I'm so lost why this thing is still...

    Starting Problem

    Don't know the miles on truck my father in law gave it to me and he's not sure how many miles. It just died on me on my way home and I have fuel pressure going to it. I removed the supply line to it and plenty of fuel and pressure. Cracked injector lines and almost no fuel came from lines.
