I recently bought a 86 IDI 6.9, non-running. The seller said the lift pump was bad. Turns out the lift pump is fine, but it still won't start. Here is what I've done so far to try to get this thing to start:
- new glowplugs (AC Delco - the only non-autolite glowplugs my parts store has)
- engine fuel leaks fixed
- replaced fuel filter
- replaced lift pump
- swapped injection pumps
- replaced starter
- both batteries are 2014
- cleaned battery cable connections
The engine cranks and smokes, but doesn't start. The "wait to start" light comes on, but it doesn't dim the dome light and the voltmeter doesn't move. You can hear the glowplug relay click on and stay on, but it doesn't seem to actually be turning the glowplugs on. Starting to feel a little desperate here....help!
