troubles starting diesel
Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 11:31 am
Hey everyone over the past few days ive had troubles starting my diesel 1987 4runner...LN61 i believe. Thursday morning about 6 when im due to leave for work it would turn over fine but not start or sound close to it so i got a lift with a mate and today ive got an rdo so i tried it at 8.00 when my old man went to leave for work and it still wouldnt start, cranking fine though as my battery is only about 2 months old. My old mans diesel Merc Vito van turned over fine after about 10 secs of cranking. I tried again at 9.30 this morning and it finally started but was very 'rough n tumble' and still didnt really want to run. Its only an issue in this cold winter brisbane is having and want to know how i can get it started short of rolling it down the driveway and it possibly still not starting. My glow plugs take roughly 2 or 3 seconds to warm up which ive been told is good. Ive done a few searches but only found people that have difficulty starting their diesels and not not starting at all.
Thank you all in advance
