The two sockets that were soldered.

Sure, will do so tomorrow. Just got the fix done and it's at night here. Will take photos during the day and post them here. Cheers.

Hi guys, an update. Finally I got the vehicle sorted out tonight. It's been a very long fix and without proper tools for diagnosing this fix was proving impossible. First I ordered a second hand injector pump from Japan that was never to be delivered, long story short the seller actually...

Sounds like a diesel knock to me, like some cylinder not getting enough diesel. Will confirm ìn the morning once I get it to the mechanics

Will check the connection in the morning. I suspect it has to do with the pump and not engine. We had advanced the pump prior to the trip maybe some connections came loose after long drives on the corrugations. Will have an update in the morning. $800 for the pump and no exchanges involved.

With Christmas holidays things went quiet but I managed to locate a used pump in good condition from Japan for $800.00 It will be shipped early next week. Meanwhile after a some driving on corrugations my vehicle brought the check engine light on with error code P1220. There's also a ticking...

I thought so, but what I gather from most diesel shops I have visited, they don't have the expertise to service the pump. The 4th shop has the correct equipment but they said " your pump may be faulty and explode on the bench". Just a bunch of nonsense I believe. I think there is no local...

The only diesel shop in town that can bench test the pump have conditions prior to testing the pump. They have to strip it first and quote me for worn out parts. Figures around $1.5K to $2K. Am now hunting for a pump from local breakers. Might be cheaper option.

I got the pump out and have been to 3 diesel shops so far but they don't have necessary power adapters to power the denso pump. Finally located a 4th shop with necessary equipment but they insist on stripping pump first before bench testing it. It doesn't make any sense to me, seems like a...

100% . I like this approach to get things tested. I spoke to another diesel shop and they seemed more confident with fixing the Car. They suggested testing the pump plus injectors on their machine and give a conclusive report. Will be doing this over the weekend once the injectors are pulled...

Could the Injector valves be faulty and not be picked up during calibration? Vehicle has 370Ks on it. Had one previous owner and I dont know if injectors have ever been replaced. Maybe new injectors would cure.
