I might be missing something here if the sock was clogged I wouldnt get fuel flow correct and or fuel pressure. Visual inspection of the fuel looks good dont see any particles, cloudiness or water in it, i put the fuel that I dropped out of the drain inside for a couple hours.
It has fuel did a flow and pressure test to the input of the fuel filter, fuel filter was changed will do a flow and pressure test on the output of the fuel filter housing i need to get a hose barb for 1/4 inch line.
Air filter is ok and the mufflers are not original I changed them when I got the vehicle two years ago. I can try the injectors but I wouldnt think all eight would go bad all at once. It acts just like my ford 7.3 idi did when the fuel pump went bad thats why I changed it and also it looks...
There is no exhaust smoke that seems ok, I just checked the check valve on top of the IP and it was clear I can see thru it. Went ahead and changed that fuel line that goes to that also. Started it up and the same issue it idles but it seems slower than normal I had to adjust the idle speed to...
Been a long day still trying to figure this thing out kids need to use it for college. Drove it yesterday because kids were having cold start issues to a friends house barely made it home felt like fuel starving issues. I replaced filter no luck noticed fuel pump was weaping replaced that...
I will try and find more info in the tm but sometimes IMO its a little difficult. Thought it was a variable resistor due to the tm says check for 600 ohms cold if its open check wiring and the glow plug switch. Unless its 600 ohms during cold and when hot it closes the switch, the tms dont tell...
If I was the only driver I would remove controller install push button with a analog volt meter that is hooked to the output of the glow plug relay. This way I can monitor the voltage going to the glow plugs.
So in this whole process of troubleshooting it looks like I dont have after glow anymore also. So I need to see if my glow plug temp switch is working actually its not really a switch is it more of a variable resistor. It use to work so not sure if the only thing wrong is the resistor.
Yes I am thinking of removing the resistor pack that will need to upsize the wire to the 12 volt terminal.. I am thinking at least a 6 gauge but a 4 would be better not sure how I am going to fuse it though. Larger the wire the less voltage drop across it in turn hotter plug temps. So does the...
Should have mentioned all voltages were taken with glow plugs cycling, So I had 24.9vdc then went to 23.6vdc with the glow plugs on so only a 1.3vdc drop from the batteries under the glow plug load. Next time I will check it at the 24vdc bus bar with glow plugs on and also when the starter is...
I replaced all eight glow plugs from the wellmans to ac 60g four of the wellmans were open. Definately helped it starting but when it didnt start very good the other day. Checked all 60g all ok during glow plug cycle had 9.0 volts on the output of the relay. Next day I checked the input to...
I didnt check the input voltage I will do that next time, so I should have closer to 12 volts. I still have the resistor so some more troubleshooting will be needed I did find out my temp sensor is bad didnt know the glow plugs shouldn't cycle when warm
