Not much help, but I took mine to a diesel mechanic guy who only dealt with diesels/injectors and pumps. I think they are fairly fragile inside.

In normal maintanace a pump does not require service. Timing can be checked as too full throttle. If any further problems exist, look for a diesel injection specialist.

I think mine (1989 2.8 turbo diesel Hilux) injector pump is in desperate need of a service because

a) when it is cold i've noticed it starts and idles at 700 and then when I drive it, it idles on around 800-900. It doesn't do it when its not a cold morning when its started.. Really weird.

b)hasn't been done since I bought the car however it does have a reciept saying it was serviced in 2000, ie 5 years ago.

c) I'm absolutlly paranoid when it comes to my cars, i'm a uni student and have NOOO money to fix anything if it breaks.. so always shitting it when I hear weird rattles of the car does something wierd aswell :oops: :oops:

Wot you guys think?? sorry If I hijacked your post :oops:

Im no expert but when its cold its not going to run correctly until its fully warmed up anyway, so this may be the cause of that, and i only think the injector pump would need a service if its actually leaking fuel, not if its just running a bit off.
