hello all

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?

:welcome2: you might want to post this in the defender section!! you'll get no responce in this section buddy.......

:welcome2: to Landyzone. YOU CAN STOP SHOUTING NOW!!!

What was the reason for carrying out the engine rebuild?

You're better off asking the question in either the defender section or under the engines section. I'm guessing it's a 200tdi lump?

Roger will do!yes its a 200tdi and reason for doing head was piece of mind after buying vehicle.
