Hi everyone,
I have a 1995 2.8 litre turbo diesel that has a couple of issues that may or may not be linked. The first issue is when starting from cold it will only idle at about 200 - 300 and I have to use the hand throttle to keep it at 700 plus. A few Kms down the road the hand throttle can be released and the car will idle normally.
The second and more frustrating issue issue is once the car is warm and the glow plugs are no longer initiating, the car will take anything from 6 or 10 turns to start. Even after long trips it does this. From cold I give the the glow plugs a couple of "heatups" and it starts OK ish.
I've had a bit done to the car in the last month and the problem remains the same ie. new battery, new glow plugs (double checked), idle adjusted, valves adjusted, new injectors, new fuel pump, new hand primer pump, air and fuel filters changed , starter motor checked o. k. The local "experts" have run out of ideas. I've had the car from new and its only the last year this has started to happen - Any ideas would be greatly appreciated - Thanks Brian
