Hi Everyone.
:1zhelp::1zhelp::1zhelp:
New to site today , and i have got a problem. My son has just bought a 1989 1.6 non turbo diesel Caddy . This thing has been apparently run on Veggy oil before , and now does not want to run at all. I have removed the diesel filter , which was gunked up with crud ( diesel was yellow) in side , and fitted a new filter and cleaned out the lines from the filter down to the pump. We have turned over the engine and bled the fuel up to the injectors , but the engine will not run. When the engine fires , it will run for a second or so and then dies.
I am now thinking that there is possibly a diesel pump problem , or perhaps injectors , any ideas guys ????.
For the short time the engine will run , smoke out of the back does seem bluey / grey.
When he got the car originally , it did run but not too well.
I am not a mechanic by trade , bodywork is my stuff , but any help would be appreciated, as this is annoying the hell out of me
Thanks Kirk
