Dturbo starting problems

[willJspears]

My dturbo is turning over but not starting.
Could this be to do with fuel delivery and induction? If so, what are the main components to check. Injectors? Pump primer? Fuel filter? Intake?

Are you getting fuel through when you prime it by hand?

[willJspears]

I think so, when priming by hand I can hear fuel being drawn through

[Piggy]

does the primer go hard?

does it puff out any type of smoke when trying to start?

are you running veg or straight diesel?

Any symtoms leading up to it not starting?

---

When was last time it was started/driven?

[willJspears]

not really, thats what i thought might be wrong, didnt notice any smoke, running standard diesel. car was running perfectly about 4 hours before

[Piggy]

first thing to check would be the solenoid on the pump.

make sure when ignition is on it has 12volts.

its basically one if the only wires connected to the pump!

[willJspears]

okay, is it more than likely a fuel problem? or is there anything else it could be?

[Piggy]

could be a hundred things...but need to start somewhere!

[willJspears]

Okay, cheers for the help

[willJspears]

Where abouts on the pump is the solenoid?

[bigcheez2k3]

It's on the back I think, number 10 in this image

[willJspears]

Isn't that a Bosch? I'm running lucas

[bigcheez2k3]

Yep, that is a Bosch. Try Piggy's suggestion as there isn't exactly a massive amount of wiring on the pumps so hard to get it wrong.

[willJspears]

Okay, thanks for the help. I spoke to a local mechanic and he said first thing to check is the battery earths, then get onto the stop solenoid. I'm just hoping its not to much of a major problem.

[willJspears]

Just had a look at me pump. Is the solenoid on the back of the pump with two wires going into it?

[willJspears]

I've located the solenoid, but having trouble getting to the wire, and figuring out where it leads to. Is there anywhere I can get a wiring diagram? Haynes doesn't really tell me a lot
