MQ patrol HELP

Post by mqharko »

My 1983 MQ diesel patrol is currently not starting. The engine cranks slowly when i go to start it but it will not kick over. This all started happening a week ago when i was going through a water crossing. While i was driving my car just stopped. It was as if the key had just been turned off. From then on it would not start. I have considered water in the engine, but so far nothing has pointed towards that and the water i was going through was only just above my tyres, i had been doing deeper all day. Has anybody experienced anything similar? Any idea's on things i could do/check?

Cheers in advance.

Disconnect linkage from EDIC motor on injection pump, so that the lever is verticaly(it's run position, towards front of the car it's start). Give current for 10-15 seconds to the glowplugs, and then quickly try to start it.
