its a bag of shit 95 model!

Its got fuel in!
had new heater plugs!
heater plug relay is working!
There is fuel at injector head!
and smokes while cranking if foot is on the gas!
Camshaft ain't snapped!

any ideas before i torch the fuckin crock!

 

try pulling the fuel line of the front of the filter housing.two lines facing you and its the top one.crank the engine and leave a little fuel out

reconnect pipe and crank engine as normal.
if you got air and fuel when bleedin it should start.

thats the priming head and where the button is to prime/pressurise the system is leaks.
this then leaves air into the system which is death to a diesel

hope it sorts it , did mine recently and its a common problem.
new one from ford built up was 65 euro and is cheaper than spurious

Could be the engine stop solenoid, had this problem with an escort, was just a broken wire

 

It's just you. You manage to break everything!!

 

I've cracked the injector nuts off and its spurting diesel out when its cranking!!

Is this a fuel cut solenoid? as there appears to be fuel at the injector and smoke with full throttle while cranking?
Tell me about it i've only just fixed the other fooking car!! at least i'm looking cool sitting in traffic on my way home from work!!

 

Jumped pump/valve timing or lack of compression....

 

Thats wot my dad recons and he had same when his Citreon jumped a tooth!!

New belt time i think!!

 

Andy answer your fooking phone
and can you come round thursday ?

Dave.

 

NO my hands were covered in shit!!

maybe but fixing that crock is more important before some one drops a fooking huge beam on my escort at work!!

 

if theres plumes of smoke while cranking and at tickover then its pump timing.
whip the cover off and loosen 3 bolts on pulley-twist one way and tighten and try that!

 

Only do that if the belts have not jumped a tooth. To be honest, even if the belts haven't jumepd a tooth then it should still start, just run badly.

There are 2 timing belts on the diesels. 1 for the cam and 1 for the pump.

 

Is ther potential for me to do damage it if do it wrong? I'm a bit paranoid at the mo!!

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!

 

Agree with the old man. Don't fooking touch it if you don't know what you are doing.

 

I'll leave it alone me thinks!!

 

I don't have a set of timing pins either....

 

Thank fuck!! Wouldn't know wot the fook to do with them!!

Fookin Cat Weasels! didn't think they broke down!!

 

They still need maintaining you know!

Timing pins are to time the fooker up with. You slot the ends into various holes. I thought you would have jumped at the chance!

 

Check glow plugs are actualy working,also check the big fuses near the battery.

 

Yeah as he said, dissconnect the wires from the glow plugs and with a testlight, place the teslight wire on the positive terminal on the battery and put the probe on the electrical connection on the glow plug. If the test light lights then that plug is down.

 

Its just one continuios wire and when the relay clicks its showing correct voltage with multimeter!!

 

are you coming round tomorrow Andy

 

maybe fitting new belt to the beast, give me a ring tomorrow afternoon!!

 

Yeah but all you are testing there is that the glow plug relay & supply is all ok & working, the plugs themselves could still be knackered and to determine this you need to do as i said above!

 

They have been replaced with new ones!! i mentioned this at the start of the post!!

 

Is it fixed yet?

 

tell me about it, im checking to see who parks next to me so i know who
might put potential dints in it,
you should be ok in corner of the car park though

 

Thats why i park it there!! Park yours next to mine and then only on side may get biffed!!
