HELP! HAVE BIG PROBLEMS WITH TURBO DIESEL RODEO

How much oil is in it?

Bad Diesel maybe

What did your mate mess around with on the Injection side of things> he may off put the pump timing out if he played around with that.

Has the timing belt skipped a tooth, if it has a belt?

That’s about all I can think of off the top of my head.

gympiegold,Did you drop the back of the motor as you were doing the clutch?If you did check your induction pipe for restriction or damage.If it was operating ok before you did the clutch it is pretty obvious that you have caused the problem in doing the clutch.Or has it got a sensor around the flywheel ring gear area??
Something to think about.

The tapping noise coming from the top of the engine is probably due to too little fuel being injected, First off have you removed and checked your fuel filters? if you had disconnected the fuel lines you may still have air in the system open the injector lines at the injectors one at a time when running and make sure all the air in bled out, it can take a while if air is in the system.

Hi Gympiegold, Try our club web site www.clubisuzu.com we have 700 odd members all with Isuzu/Holdens most with 2.82TDs Iam sure some one will be able to help with your prob.
Cheers Bruce
PS but the same, exact, question up please.

check you havent squashed a fuel line, wiring harness ,vac line or maybe exhaust or inlet hose ,injector pipes on wrong injectors, aneroid hose off on pump, rag in air cleaner housing/piping, list is endless, came across a filter housing on a rodeo that had sh?t under the reed valve in the primer pump but it would not go at all. find out what he did and post it , it will narrow it down a bit more.

Hi Gympiegold,
Had a 92 model turbe diesel that did exactly the same thing, parked it one night, went to start it in the morning and you explained the problem I had. The 92 and 93 models had a recall and some slipped through without being fixed. The Holden dealer told me mine had not been through the recall, the problem is something to do with how the injector pump driving gear is held in place on the shaft, because it is a helical gear it only has to move a very small amount backwards or forwards on the shaft and it will put the pump timing out significantly. I take it you are from Gympie, if so take it to Madills, they will know what to do to fix it, I have dealt with Madills many times over the years and always found them very helpful.

Cheers Rossco.

I started the fridge motor up on our refridgereated 45 foot trailer last night, took ages to start, blowing smoke hunting, engine knocking and then died.
I bled the fuel system and it started and ran fine.
It was bleeding down through the hand primer/transfer pump.
I would say after your mate has fiddled, it is sucking air somewhere. Remove the outlet hose from the fuel filter and hand prime it until it is a constant flow of fuel coming out. Then put the out let hose back on and hand prime it until it is rock hard. Start it. It may run rough for a minute or so until the pump bleeds the air out of the injector lines.
You only need to bleed it to the fuel pump and then the pump will bleed the lines.
Check he hasn't opened any hidden bleed screws.
I know the 60 series landcruiser has a water trap down the back on the drivers side chassis which has a bleed screw on the top and bottom. Leave one of these loose or even finger tight and boy do you have troubles.
Also we have had plenty of hand primers sucking air that we have had to replace in our workshop.
The way we quickly check them is to bypass the filter/hand primer with the hoses and then put compressed air gently into the tank to bleed the lines. Start it and run it. If it runs good after that you know the handprimer is the problem.
Hope this helps and food for thought

Sounds like a sticking injector i have experienced this on my 80 series

Misfires runs rough blows heaps of smoke LOUD knocking noise in the motor it makes sense too because you hav had it sitting the injector (1 or 2 have become stuck open )
