That is a story I hear over and over and over and over again. Oil change done poorly resulting in failure. My aunt seized her engine once because the idiots didn't put any oil in after they drained it. |

Seems like anything which would prevent starting would be showing something on the dash. Glow plugs? Glow plug controller? Fuel filter? Hope you can get it running to get it home. Mine is 4 tons dry, so anything other than an equipment hauler is a non-starter for trailering it. --- End quote --- I checked for codes...nothing. I have a scangauge too and no codes found on that either I'm gonna check the Glow plug control Module... Jim I'll try blowing on it and let you know how it works out. |

It's summer... Glow plugs don't mean much right now. Heat of compression from cranking over many times is more than enough to get a diesel started in the summer months. You have a fuel delivery problem. Yes. I'm a certified diesel technician. |

I'm a certified diesel technician. --- End quote --- It depends on the part of the country you live in, but generally I agree. However, I currently have 4 out at the moment (already have a full set of replacements on hand) and cold starts on cooler mornings or late at night, is rough. If my batteries were weaker, I don't think it would be starting. There are also plenty of sensors on these vehicles, and they still think it's necessary to light up the glow plugs on a cold start, even when its warmer outside. But you are right. If the vehicle was driven to somewhere that was any distance away, there should be enough residual heat in the block to assist starting for the ride home. The injectors, glow plugs, GP controller and fuel pump should throw codes, and the chance that those are bad with no engine light on the dash is pretty low, so what's left? Hydrolocked? Cracked injector head allowing exhaust gas into the fuel line? Knave: When you turn on the key, do you hear the normal fuel pump noise while the lines pressurize? Have you recently drained the water separator? From what I have read, the seals on the drain can go bad, and allow air into the line. Could also be the fuel filter, or the fuel shut-off. |
