Doesnt want to start! - RePT - 06-12-2012
When i start my car up cold, it refuses to start. Revs go to 600rpm and just stay there ticking over. After a few seconds the immobiliser sound goes off.
Then i try again, 600rpm stuck, untill i tap the accelerator it kicks up,
Coughs out smoke for a good 10 minutes and gets really juddery inside.
Only started happening.
Usually starts first attempt instantly!

Sounds like the timing could have slipped a tooth or you have bad fuel/dirty fuel filter/bad glow plugs. Does it still have all it's power when it's stopped juddering/coughing?

How does it start when warm? As said could be glow plugs or air getting in

Starts instantly when warm, has all its power.
dad had a look over, he said its probably plugs or fuel filter..
both of which i will change after my bosch pump.
although I changed my fuel filter 4k miles ago, and ive only ran on derv.

I'd say glow plugs fo' sho'.

What he said^^^
Majority of us on here probably run wank when cold first thing... Its an old diesel thing! Unless you have spanking new plugs and perfectly setup pump :p

Mine starts first time on pure veg, which is weird as i don't have a clue what i'm doing with these engines half the time.
It does have a new 640CCA battery and nearly new glow plugs from Ash23's old head though, but yeah still starts first time on pure veg even when the windows are frosted up.

Im yet to have it not start on veg all ways goes first crank.... But that doesnt mean it enjoys it.... I usually go out and start it then come in and finish me cuppa then leave for work haha

Yeh, tried this today.
Came outside and a police car was idle next to mine.
Popped out,
"did you know it is an offence to leave car running with no one inside"
"sorry officer, i didnt know".
He also mentioned my car was smoking like a bitch, need some plugs!!
