86 hilux won't start

Post by the_4br »

I have a 2l hilux 86 model and it won't start I'm preety sure that it's
something to do with the glow sircut so I replaced some things on
that then ran out of 80amp fuses to relpace it with so stuipd me
replaced it with a 100amp one now the relay/solinoid that normaly
clicks clicks on then stright off instead of after about 5-10sec

I was also wondering if anyone on here was a auto electrician in the
newcastle area that wouldt mind coming over to fix it for a bit of booze/cash
or no of a cheepish one that can come out
if lifes a bitch.............deaths a sl*t cause death cums 4 all of us

Philosophy 101: Be methodical.

Pull all the glow plugs and fuses. With ignition off measure resistance between the glow line and earth (should be an open circuit)

Then start with "nothing" connected (checking the basic wiring) witht a new fuse in, then replace glow plugs one at a time. The time when the fuse blows will mark the bad area. Note it may well be the solenoid that switches the glow plugs that is the issue.
