Doe's anyone else's 300tdi do this????

When im driving, and then use the clutch, the revs drop a fraction past 750 rpm (idle speed) and then pick up back to 750.
If i put biodiesel in it, then the revs drop a little bit more then normal diesel and pick back up to idle.Once the engine did cut out because it dropped to low!!
Is this normal?

What should i do??

When the engine is revving above idle and you clutch it with NO accelerator the injection pump has a governor that will only throw fuel back in when it reaches its idle speed again, if this is not cutting in soon enough because its worn or needs calibrated etc it is possible the diesel won't make it in time and the engine will stop or in your case drop a little lower than usual.

I believe there is an adjustment that can be made somewhere but I am not sure where it is - someone is bound to know the fix.

Thanks Discomania that sounds like good news so far!! anyidea if it's harming my engine at the minute, the way it is?

Yeah im sure someone will come up trumps and know where this adjustment is!

It is NOT harming your engine.
It is fairly common for this to happen.

Careful setting of the throttle linkage, so that is DOES reach and rest on the slow speed bump stop screw is important.

many injection pumps have separate governors for slow running, controlled by a separate little lever.

My Darling,

It isn't yours .... it's MINE ... but I need it like I need a hole in my Disco diesel tank, so .... it COULD be yours, but what is the deal you are offering me?

Remember, I can resist everything - except temptation.

Love from

Uncle CharlesY
