hello all could anybody help 200tdi
hello im brand new to the forum.I AM CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF RESTORING A 93 DEFENDER 90.SO FAR I HAVE REBUILT THE CYLINDER HEAD ,GROUND IN THE VALVES,REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND ALL THE FUEL LINES,NEW INJECTORS,NEW FILTER HOUSING AND FILTER,TWO LIFT PUMPS,DELPHI UNIT USED NOW, AND THE ENGINE IS STILL NOT RUNNING PROPERLY! I HAVE BLED THE FUEL SYSTEM AT EVERY UNION AND FITTED CLEAR PIPE AND NO AIR BUBBLES VISABLE. I CAN GET THE ENGINE TICKING OVER FINE FOR MAYBE A MINUTE AND THEN IT DIES AWAY TO A NEAR STALL.IT SEEMS TO ONLY REV TO MAYBE 3500 RPM AND WILL ONLY GO AT 55 60 MPH WITH MY FOOT FLAT ON THE FLOOR,AND WHEN I COME TO AN INCLINE IT DROPS AWAY TO 30 ODD.I AM TRYULY BAFFLED AS TO WHAT IS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I STILL THINK ITS DRAWING AIR BUT WITH NO AIR BUBBLES VISABLE! IM STUMPT.ALL AIR INTAKE AND TURBO ,VACCUM LINES WERE ALL CHECKED AND FOUND TO BE OK! COULD THIS BE AN ELETRICAL FAULT WITH THE SOLENIOD ON THE FUEL INJECTION PUMP AS I BELIEVE THE FUSE BOX BURNED OUT PREVIOUSLY?

ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!
OR MAYBE A LOCAL MEMBER TO KILSYTH,GLASGOW COULD HELP?

have you got banjo with large hole at front,and banjo with small at rear ,remove front banjo and turn over engine see if plenty of clean fuel to pump ,remove injector pipes off pump turn engine over have all four the same sharp spurt of fuel ,you can remove plunger out of solenoid and try ,remove injectors fit one at time to pipe and check pattern ,make sure injector is pointing away from you ,after that check timing then get pump checked
 
Tnx for comments! I dont reckon timing as it starts first time and runs on idle with no problems for a minute or two before dying away! will go away and try injector comments! ill keep you posted.:)
