Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi, guys, my 1993 2.8 deisel hilux wiil not start, it turns over no worrys but will not fire. I was thinking maybe it was the glow plugs because of the cold weather is there any way i can test them to see if they are working, or is there anything else i should be checking. Hope somebody can help me thanks Damien

yeh just rip the plugs out and see if they are up the sh*t. Quick and easy way to narrow it down, let us no how ya go

spray some crc, rp7, rid, anything aerosol into the intake and turn it over, if it starts its your glow plugs. if not its ur solenoid? on the fuel pump.

yup x2 thats what happend on the 5L that i had the soliniod.

Check the glow plug fuse in the engine bay. Is it blowing white smoke while cranking over???

connect a wire to the positive of your battery and hold the other end on the glow plug rail for 10 seconds then try starting it. I glowed mine for a long time like that

Thanks guys will head out into the shed tomorrow and either fix it or @$#% it

has it been sitting a while?
if so the fuel could have drained back.

when you pump up the fuel does the plunger go hard?

you may need to undo the injector hose slightly and turn the motor over to get the air out of the fuel lines.

Butter in a spray tin works also if there is no power at the solioind on the injector pump it's possably blown the 30amp (PINK FUSEABLE LINK) mine done it Sooo
