I'm having a problem starting my LJ70 engine first thing in a morning(with 2.4TD 2L-T engine)
It just seems to turn over for ages & ages since the weather went cold. I can hear the glow plug relay
sound when warmed and suspect the glow plugs might need changing but the car bump starts ok, and will start on the key throught the day, but the manual prime pump doesnt pump rock hard anymore, its looking more like a fuel air problem.
Has anyone had these symptons before, what was the cause? I intend to look over all the pipe work tomorrow but really dont know what I'm looking for or where, any pointers?
Can the pick up fuel diesel pipe in the tank cause this kind of problem?
