Re: diesel engine wont start
update. We checked electrical on engine pre heat system that consisted of a control box , solenoid and relay . all these checked out good .The intake has two heat injectors similar to glow plugs , but they actually have fuel connections incorporated . I believe they were the issue and when checking electrical for some reason they started working again .suspecting moisture . anyway starts right up , and if it does it again , I will know what to check . thanks for all the suggestions.682Views0likes0CommentsRe: diesel engine wont start
So I just tried starting fluid again .The stuff says safe for diesels .Requires 4 to 5 seconds of spray . Started up. At initial start up engine raced as in a lean condition until fuel got to it. This would lead me to believe it is losing its prime or another fuel delivery issue or something else effecting fuel delivery .682Views0likes0CommentsRe: diesel engine wont start
I am honored to have Brett respond to my post. Battery is new . I am actually hooked up at a campground. Starting fluid per cummins manual.I may try Redlands truck center on my way to Palm Springs next month if I cant figure it out. Will check out solenoid , of course that means tearing the bedroom apart. How would I check filters and hoses for air leaks ?413Views0likes0Commentsdiesel engine wont start
1997 Monaco dynasty 8.3 cummins diesel will turn over fine but will not start.Tried rear remote start switch. Still nothing. I got a can of starting fluid and she would start with that and stay running for 15 minutes until I shut it down . Tried a couple hours later and started right up. This morning same thing , turns over but will not start. Obviously a fuel issue. Must be losing its prime some how or fuel pressure. I'm in So Cal 65 degrees.No fuel leaks that I can see. I'm assuming fuel pump and solenoid are good if it starts and stays running with starting fluid . Will check back later . thanks kb7.3KViews0likes27Comments
