poor starting 90 - getting there

<< < (4/4)

drmike:
Just a thought but you said it started and then ran lumpy for 20 seconds? Isn't that the time the glow plugs are timed to stay on?

Could it be that the glow plug circuit is upsetting something else electrical. As I recall the circuit around that bit is quite complicated.

One for those who know better: Is it possible just to pull out the connector that goes into the glow plug timer relay? Would that mean the plugs took no power?

ta kev..... I'll hand you a screw driver on saturday then!

Amazingly she started fine now the weather is better, really hop combination of glow plugs and too low tickover... we'll see

Has anyone got a pic of the fuel hi-pressure pump and which bits to twiddle which way... I do want to tweak boost and fuelign but wont touch that until I know everything else is ok.

glow plugs aren't on a timer, its a simple switch on the ignition key on early models, after starting it drops back to the ignition 'slot' before ie. 1 = aux, 2= run and aux, 3= glow plugs only, 4=start, after starting it drops back to poss 3
