moxy 617 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Well upon that statement i have to say direct injection come common rail, have you seen the injector layout on the isuzu? But upon reflection :hmm: Or both according to the ITOF, a whole new kettle of fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I'm trying to remember it trouble is the 2.8 3.0 3.1 Isuzu all ran completely different systems and I can't remember which ones which. Have you got (A) injector pipes running from pump over the top of the rocker onto each injector 4 of ( injector pipes from pump to the side of the head through to the injectors 4of © one pipe from pump to a large rail then four pipes of it to each injector (D) pump is bolted to the end of the head no pipes to injectors. They feed of a central chamber through the head itself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 D but the pump is on the block not the head and the fuel is piped up through the head HEUI apologies for the questioning of your knowledge, you the man by the looks of it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Baghdadnights 150 Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 Right think there the same set up as the pd vw engine. If so the injectors have o ring seals on them usually three one below fuel rail one above the one above that for the fuel return or spill system. Did they remove all injectors or just the faulty one. If yes did they replace all the seals. If yes then could be either starter motor or the high pressure pump on the block that's at fault. If no to all seals it could be them not holding pressure in the fuel rail. Have you checked oil level fuel can vent into the oil if seals have gone if its high there's the problem. Be warned if the oil level is really high don't start the engine once its too high the engine will suck oil through breather system then it will rev it's nuts of till it blows the lump no way of shutting it down unless its a manual and you can stall the motor in gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites

moxy 617 Posted November 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2012 Weyhey!! I have the bitch running. After a lot of fannying and good advice we have finally got the cow starting on cue in a morning, third morning on the trot so fingers crossed its cured. :hmm: hmmmn your all wondering, how did that happen, what did happen? did he change the starter? get it tested? Replace the injectors? Get his pants pulled down and arse slapped red again by Isuzu??? Well none of the above!! although i dont mind a bit of s&m so for a time the isuzu idea was looking an option We changed the oil I put in 10/40 around the time the injector went down hoping a service would cure any problems and lead thoughts away from the inevertable pricey injector. What a BIG mistake. It needs 5/30 fully synthetic. So anybody with a 3l trooper take heed. A quick oil change a good run, a drain of oil part way and a top up and the jobs a good un. Thanks to all who offered advice, it was muchly apreciated and a BIG thanks to Kev ( you know who you are ) for taking the time out to give me a bell and whisper sweet nothings in my ear Cheers lads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
