Nothing was wrong with my truck after all...i created my own problem......

musbe air lock dey bai....

prime the diesel pump a lil bit till diesel comes out
then take off the intake hose from the turbo
spray some carb cleaner in there (not too much!)

start up and let it tumble till that beeyotch roars to life...
replace intake hose
drive away happy.

diesel starts with 3 main factors, heat, compression and fuel....

easiest one since it was last a driving vehicle is fuel.....

pull out the hose from the primer to the inj pump and pump the primer until the fuel flows solid and consistent on every stroke....reconnect line....

crack the injector lines, and pump primer again, until diesel can be seen leaking from them....

once they leaking a bit, tumble her over a few times.....re-tighten lines....

try heat and start.......should start with a bit of rough idle and white smoke that should clear up momentarily.....

still not starting???

well you know fuel is in order, you can see if the glow plugs are good,
first check to see if the line is getting current, connect a 12V tester to the heater lead and turn on the ignition, you should see current present for the same time as the glow lamp on the inst panel, then....to ensure the GP themselves are good or bad......

disconnect the heater lead, and heater wire to all the glow plugs....

using a 12V current, arc each GP, if its functional a small arc will be present, if u get no arc that GP is faulty......replace faulty GP and try to start again....

glow plugs can sometime "blow" just so, i changed 6 GPs before carnival, and yestermorning i get a lil hard start, mid morning it eh wah start at all, wen i actually check the gps, all 6 faulty...

dont buy JKT brand at all, is sheit......

any how if yuh do those things and still not starting it may be a more serious electronic problem or compression.......

you can try some starting fluid and see if it helps, or if you have aniother strong vehicle, can give the van a good long pull start, that should help get it back in order.........

Thank you guys!....i ended up using a lil bit of carb spray n a lil gas in the intake.... one tumble n it started......

My question is this engne losing compression or something??

well now that u used gas, i wouldnt rule it out smh

nex time jus use a lil bop nah

yeh got shitted out bout htat already...

not idling smoothly.....think i got other probs ...tomr will try n sort it out.....

steups..parked up ths van running realy good.....now t starting easy back....but it smoking with a slight miss when idling,,,,all filters changed...but smoking down the place.

when hot or cold, or all the time?
probably a broken rings, get a compression test done.....

when cold

ok ...as i said started, it now starts easy on morning start ups 1/2 tumble....BUTTT on idle its rough and smoking up a storm--- but driving it drives great reaches 120-140 easily and still wants to go.. no over heating no smoking whilst drving.....is it the head? shoudl i pull down the head and change it??? i already changed diesel filter air filter cleaned the lil metal filter on the pump....what to do now??

will clogged injectors do this or should i jsut pull and change the head.

check glow plugs one or more glow plug might be bad

Not saying is the same problem but was smoking heavily on mornings with lots of blue smoke.Also rough idling.
Dropped it by toyota and they said bad diesel had caused one of the Injectors to be clogged.
It was cleaned and no more smoke and smooth idling.

I know people who had injector problems after having parked up for some time as well.

Just my 2 cents!

i hoping is that yeh...i have no time for a rebuild ...i myt sprang it.!

Sprang it this way!

wait, when it starts cold it smokes - injector dribble

when it has been running for a while >1 hr and it goes to idle does it smoke

it smokes but not as much as cold but still smoke nonetheless.....
i think its injector trouble......



can i take down and clean these njectors myself???

yes, but if you never have, I would take it to Sookhai's

or even if u have a good mech that knows about the WL5's

might be just 1 injector

buy OEM

they sell injectors new????! where would i get a set and how much

before you go into injectors, check to ensure that the stainer in the pump does not require cleaning. Also fastest way to clean out the injectors is to empty a bottle of redline 85plus into the tank when you fill up and run it.

If its the head then you will be losing water in radiator and also will be getting alot of white smoke and 3-5 second rough idle almost everytime you start up

If its the glow plugs- you will only get rough idle and some blue smoke only on cold start.

Try the above before you take down injectors.

i threw in 2 treatments thus far...

and i am thinking to throw in another...... hope to not have to remove systemm..how much driving myt this take to work?????

Notting cleans like transmission fluid. Not saying you should do that, but it works.

I usually run an entire bottle of amsoil in two fill ups.
If it really bad I would removed the fuel filter and fill it up with the treatment and let the van idle it out.

Some use a 5 dollars of kerosene to a full tank of diesel, that works also. Some fill the diesel in the filter and idle the van.

how exactly do u use tranny fluid..

There is a thread in here about it. People put in about half a quart into a full tank of diesel. I have never tried it, but heard some owners got good results from doing it. They had heavy black smoking problems.

my smoke is bluish white....
no over heating no coolant loss....

i must commend mech mines this guy is a true good person , he could have witheld info, as he is a professional all other diesel mech wanted to keep my truck this guy solved my problem in 5 mins over hte phone!........


i never forget when someone helps me out buddy!...

well what was the problem???

Share the solution it might help someone!

i am ashamed to say......but i messed around with a unit i wasnt suppose to....temp control unit and fuse.

i did work by mech mines as well. good fella and knows his stuff with the mazdas
