Starting Problems with a series 3 Diesel

It wont start some days and others it will. New fuel filter new heater plugs no air in the fuel lines. Great engine when its running sounds clean and sweet. Fuel pump ok. But its a sod some times. Even when it has been running turn it off for an hour and go back to it and it wont start. Help ?

Check the dates on that post I last did monkey...lmao

try your fuel pump could be leaking back through valve

or it could be the warp drive defraction plate

wheres defraction plate on fuel line is that taken the p

it wont be the defraction plate, it will be the flux capasitor, though it can give the same symptoms.

it should be inserted in the fuel line just aft of the pump in series with the sprocket separator

He's winding you up.
You are going to need new di-lithium crystals or there won't be any warp drive.
