When cranking my zd 30 the Tacho bounces and when i do get it started the engine light stays on.I have put a new battery in because it seems like the starter motor cranks slow.I took it to a mechanic and has told me it has 2 faults,crank angle sensor and injector pump.I gave the go ahead and put the crank angle sensor in with no success.Any other idea's

If it cranks slow AND you have a new battery, the only pieces left are the leads and connections in the start cables, (never big enough even when new). Made to a minimum spec.
While cranking a decent mechanic will
check for voltage drop across each cable run before replacing starter motor. However it could be the starter very dry in it's bearings or poor brush contact.
It seems no one these days ever removes and
services starter motors and cleans and lubricates them with decent lube oil and grease in geared sections.
If you do it makes and amazing difference if lube is the problem.
If the starter is sound but dry it is cheaper to lube a starter than buy a new one.
After that is functioning correctly other problems may not be there.

Hi Swampy.The testing these days can't track the problem to one part of the system.It seems like the auto shops do
well out of supplying parts{that you don't really need} just keep replacing them until something works.Cheers mate,goodluck.
