    P38 diesel not starting

    Hello All, Would any of you think the crank position sensor would solve the problem.

    P38 diesel not starting

    Gentlemen, with all your efforts, I thank you, but have have come to a dead end. So I must find someone who is of greater capacity than I to take this on. If anyone knows of where this sweet ride may go and reside, give me a shout. Regards. JW

    P38 diesel not starting

    Thanks so much for the info. So I really, need to get into the brain of the system and track what is going on with it from there. Nano or one of the others. If the BecM is reset, do you think this will work? As the problems began with the door lock, the BecM no longer going to sleep, then...

    Thanks so much for the replies and direction. FIP loosend up so as to shift it to see if it would just start up. Are you saying top off of FIP? Is throttle control on the pump or elsewhere? Did not pull anything off of the FIP, just slackened off. Cannot seem to get it to sit anywhere between...

    P38 diesel not starting

    Got the P38 to run by adjusting the FIP backwards……but it revs off the chart, psychotic like, and there is no in between that and just cranking. Any ideas? It’s as if the throttle is stuck wide open! I am sure it’s an electronic throttle? not sure what to do as letting it rev like that am sure...

    P38 diesel not starting

    Thanks. There are no messages on the dash. If the solenoid is the one wired plug on the right hand side inserted straight then it does not click, as far as what I can feel from when my wife cranked it over. So loss of sync means….communication issues and then if so how can be remedied or can it...

    Thanks for this info. If immobiliser is somehow not allowing solenoid action, how is this tested; also would the engine still crank?

    P38 diesel not starting

    Okay, I have some leak off pipes on order, so that will be done. easy start should of started not sure what that means, as with intake off, and all air filter connections removed, not even sure I did it correctly, as this is my first diesel, being from a place of V8’s only…then also, the can...

    P38 diesel not starting

    This afternoon just, before tea time….I paddled out to the P38 and this is the list of what was tried and observed. 1) Used a can of Engine Start - and it almost caught, it went beyond a crank to a, “ I am willing”. If it was my Old Ford, I would have floored it and it would have caught and...

    Thanks for the help! I’ve got my paddle and off I go as I try to fit this in, with the madness of life and hopfully I don’t drop the paddle.

    P38 diesel not starting

    I’ve had the battery on charge for about 8hrs today and was only up to 3/4 charge just now. Will check in the morning. I had tried the jog fob setup that Brian had mentioned but black (neg) wire in and out and then orange for power. It did not work….so probably got it wrong. I’m going to also...

    P38 diesel not starting

    J Just looking at earlier suggestions, that number one was leaking and not FIP and on mine that is where the puddle is sitting…. I am just “spitballing“ as the yanks say.

    P38 diesel not starting

    So much goes back to RF….but from previous forumadvice I had unplugged the blue dot and for 2 months it had behaved…..perhaps it’s a summer only. Need to sort just so I can get on with why it’s not starting…examining glow plugs and first injector. Is therea place to source injectors that are not...

    P38 diesel not starting

    Got it and thanks for info….Need to see why battery Superbatt went dead as original was the Bosch from old owners and it was bad….that’s when the first saga started. I think I will need to sort the BecM EDC first, because as it is going I can’t tackle the fuel issues until the battery stays...
