Hi All
First thing first; thank you to this fourm for all the helpful threads i have used to get to this point in my build.
k so. I have just semi rebuilt my 3b. Parts fix/replaced include:
-rod bearings
-sanded BAD crank shaft damage smooth
-replaced 2 pistons with spare ones (damaged)
-brand new bosch glow plugs 24v with 24v battery system
-primer pump was missing plastic valve wich i replaced with spare
-new head gasket
-new oil filter
-new oil (doi)
-new batteries
-fixed return line (tyvm fourms)
-new pre cups
so the problem:
When i first rebuilt it till now i had one good 5min run then it ran out of fuel (had priming issues for a while) and about 5-6 poor 30sec - 1min runs. Fixed the primer pump and got it primed up and now it wont start (this would probs be the most pressure it has seen).
Trouble shooting steps taken:
-cracked injectors to see if fuel came out and it does splurt out
-torrents of fuel comes out of the bleeder nipple
-check primer pump with spar and is fine (bosch branded both times)
-return line was issue but ran a soft line and does not leak
-got a hand pump from tank to currently faulty electric primer.
-checked to see if the glow plugs get voltage and they do 24v+ have also ran a straight positive line to glow it before starting and to check voltage.
-have fully charged both batteries to the same level.
Other notes:
-does produce exhaust (blue if i had to give a color) so good compression??
-around the glow plugs feel cold (dont know if its supposed to feel warm normally) they are brand new.
-does not want to fire in the slightest!!
-HAVE NOt REPLACE FUEL FILTER YET.
-Currently Australia QLD winter. so low 20s c
any help would be great. I think it might be a clog of some sort but waiting for filter to arrive now. 3 days looking over the engine and i got nothing at this point. Also scared that the glow plugs may have died but doubt that. have not checked them yet.
Thanks all.
PS. This is a Diahatsu Delta v48 5700gvm single cap tray if u were curious.

. safe to say it is not the EDIC unless it controls more then the fuel cut off arm.
