Hello,
I've been trying to get my 2gm going after letting it sit all winter.
When I turn it over, its sounds like it wants to start, but just can't get there. Kind of like only one cylinder is firing.
I had the injectors tested last summer, and both were good.
So, I am wondering if it could be the injector pump. I've loosened all the bleed screws and even some banjo fittings, one at a time, of course, right up to the injector pump. When I turned the engine over, I could see fuel pulsing out of those fittings before tightening them.
So, next I loosened the fuel lines running to the injectors. When I turned the engine over, I could see fuel pulsing out, but it came out in very small spurts.
Is that normal? One internet diagnostic site suggested that I should see a good, healthy pulsating gush of fuel.
So, next I'm thinking about removing the injector pump and having it tested.
Anyone have any ideas before I go that route?
I'm still new at diesels, so thanks very much for any advice any of you might have.
