Fuel Squirts out, in a steady stream, of Electro-Hydraulic Actuator when starting and running. Then, the fuel that is squirted out, flows through a manufactured hole in the Upper Intake Manifold. Ultimately, the fuel runs down into Lower Collector.
Never did this before winter.
What's the deal?
Engine would not start after shutoff from normal driving. No power to fuel pumps. Fuel pump relay and voltage overload relay have been replaced with no effect. Power is coming in to fuel pump relay. Is there any other relay/junction/etc between fuel pump relay and pumps?
Any advice/guidance will be deeply appreciated, love this car.
About two months after replacing the vacuum pump, a sharp "ticking" sound started that seemed to come from the front of the engine, and that varied directly with the engine speed. Checking the power steering pump reservoir revealed it was about half full. I added fluid but the ticking was still there.
The next thing I did was to adjust the valves. While turning the engine by hand for this procedure, I noticed a sharp-but-hollow sounding "pop" coming up from deep inside the engine at the timing chain. The sound occurred at what seemed to be every complete revolution of the engine. It may have been every half-revolution, but in any case, the "popping" was occurring at consistent points in the rotation of the engine. I know the vacuum pump opens up into the crankcase...
3 months ago I replaced all my glow plugs and used the reamer tool to clean out the carbon build up.
3 weeks ago the glow light stayed on after the engine started. I stopped twice on the way home to kill the engine and restart it.
3 hours ago my glow light mostly stayed on and I hit every green light on my commute. So I didn't stop and restart the engine. By the time I got home the battery was almost dead. Now I'm charging the battery and wondering about tomorrow.
Re '82 300SD. Climate control switches blow air at normal rate (auto and full-on), but it only warms up at idle (e.g. stopped at traffice light). Otherwise it is cool but not cold. I replaced the thermostat; engine warms up quickly to operating temp. When fan turned off (not on auto or full on), I can feel nice warm air at side vents, so warm air seems to be in the hoses. But press the buttons and it's only cool air. Is this a monovalve issue? Something else? Thanks.
