HI All ,
Ive got me an 84 chev g20 van into which Ive just installed 92 or so 80 series running gear in it, including axles, 1HDT and hydro A442F.
I got then thing running on the weekend and for whatever reason it wont fire at all when cold, a quick shot of ether and it lights straight up and stays running. Im running a pod filter right in the turbo and glow plugs are working. Ive done plenty of diesel conversions but this is new to me. I think the likely culprits are :
- Vacuum system plumbing AFU, engine was from a manual truck, boost compensator is plugged in but theres another canister lower on the left side where the TV input would have been, ive tried connecting this to vacuum pump, no change
- Fuel pump loosing prime, Ive rechecked all the system connections and filter is new, drain not leaking, Im not running a lift pump but maybe I need to ?
Any input ,much appreciated thanks
