hings first lets get her started

 

becasue like forcedinduction says its a waste of money

 

Sir! Yes Sir!!! Let us help, hope and pray that all goes well with "Heidi" that she may be resurrected.

Gagswolf, all the best eh.

 

It is the neutral switch!!! Ican get her to turn over in neutral, will get underneath latter to adjust that, still nothing won't fire up! Cleaned the injectors just p/u a new fuel filter thats tomorrow,does it make a difference in this car if the air intake is not on/ connected to the cute little turbo? I just figured I'd ask it's not on now! I bipassed the fuel tank and am useing the set up for the "diesel purge" with a 1 gal fuel can and i primed the system, should fuel come out the manual pump or not?sould I pull offthe fuel lines to the injectors? I'm kinda stuck no progress lately!

 

Well to give eveyone a update... "Heidi" still hasn't started, changed the fuel filters, all the glow plugs get real red at the tips, pulled all the injectors and cleaned them out/off, new return lines, but now I think the starter or the starter solenoid is done for. Turn the key and get nothing, not the neutral switch, not even the clicking like before. I am getting 12-14 volts to the starter solenoid. Is there a way to tell if is getting the juice while the car should be turning over? I got a couple if 45degree days and would love to get her going!!!
Any and all help would be great. If bad where could I p/u one "cheap".

 

Hiedi Lives!!!!!!!!!
I pulled the starter and took it apart, there was something shorting out, p/u a new one today. She went right in and 1/2 hour of this and that and a spare set of hands she ran!! Once she was running let it run for about a hour. Ran fuel injector cleaner the whole time.

So thats the good but man do I have one heck of a smoke machine!!! Does anyone know how much back pressure is susposed to come out of the top ofthe block?Tomorrow will do the valve gaps and I also have a leaky injector so thats on the plate too.

THANK YOU for all of you help guys!!

 

Great! Congratulations! Now, you can truly say, Merry Christmas and a Happy, challenging New Year.
