I have a very poor running problem with my 2.8 TDX Fourtrak
it has been standing for a couple of months and although the battery had gone flat it now runs very poorly it will start sometimes with a lot of cranking it will rev up no problem them after a couple of minutes it will just fade out if you start it again it will tske some cranking and will do the same again however I have also driven it for over an hour and it hasn't missed a beat after the inital fade out problem! I have replaced the stop solenoid and the diesel filter which seemed very clean I have checked all the connections on the rubber pipes I have also removed the banjo fillting on the input side to the pump and I still seem to have the same problem, I have also bleed it up on no.1 injector to clear the air and it is still the same PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! the next step is a gallon of petrol and a box of matches

Sounds to me like there is still air in the fuel system. They can be a real begger to bleed completely. Does it happen more often on cold mornings? If so, Id say rebleed the system at No 1 injector. It's not sucking air in somewhere, like the filter seal??

I have replaced the fuel filter so I would hope that the air isn't getting in there perhaps I will replaced the clips on the fuel line to jubilee clips to make a better seal then bleed the injector thanks for your help!!!!

I was told once that Daihatsu Deisels blead out far better if parked with the nose facing up hill, or failling a hill on inspection ramps.

Any veiws expresed in this thread by me are purely from my own experience, and (sometimes) falible memory. Hope my comments help, but please don't take them as gospel.

I have got it sorted chaps I must of been blind all of that bleeding and head scratching I decided to look at the pipe fittings on the tank and there it was looking at me straight in the face the main feed pipe was leaking-its rusted badley (surprising that it was only in for mot at the end of June I thought it would of been a failure!! and saved me all of this trouble!!!) thus letting in air not just while it was standing but also while I was driving along.
If anyone experiances my symptoms please check the tank end it will save you 2 weeks of evenings trying to sus it out!!!!!:D Biggrin :lol::'( Cray 2 :cry:
