Has anyone experienced this before? I get a almost hard to hear bearing noise when I load the box up in 4th and 5th. Slight marbly type rattle/rumble only when the engine is lugged in those gears at town speeds around 50-70kph above that you cant hear it. Cant hear anything in any other gear...

Yep im thinking (hoping) it was air all along now aswell. I think it must be getting in through the factory primer so as you leave it overnight the fuel bleeds back down and it wont start. And I could see those tiny bubbles that seemed to come from the primers direction with the clear lines...

typical nissan I should of known they wouldnt read the codes on the spot but thought id try it on anyway. Drove the ute twice today and only turned it off at nissan where it didnt start the first time. popped the bonnet and primed with the primer bulb i put in and it started.... Again once...

Got it running! Im going to take it for a thrash and get a wof on it then maybe drop it off at nissan later so i can get the codes properly read. The hand bulb primer does seem to help with priming.

Rebuilt the starter didnt seem to be much wrong with it brushes were close to done though. It is cranking a bit faster now and my tester tells me the cranking draw at 9.72v is acceptable with a charged battery. So thats improved. I went and bought some clear line and a hand squeze bilge pump...

It has Nats but if nats is screwed they usually wont crank? Is that correct? My skyline will crank if you have the wrong key but wont start. Im pretty confident its nothing to do with that. No alarm. Checked the fuses. One tail light has a crack in it and tends to blow bulbs due to...

Cleaned all grounds and battery terminals i could find and put another battery in, this battery was 100% charged and had 92% state of health according to my tester. Its a 600cca battery and tested out at 540cca so is not perfect but not bad either. It passes with my sola battery tester. On...

Yeah thats probably right but i jumped it with a car so it should of started surely. Anyway i am cleaning up all the grounds right now. I cant find one near the ECU in the cabin? I found one on the passenger side footwell near the door. I will look on the driver side aswell but nothing in...

I dont own a ZD30 but the wiring and ecu etc etc. is a very similar setup. Here's a test turn your ignition on with the bonnet open. locate the glow plug relay next to the engine compartment fusebox.... assuming its the same as mine.... and listen to the relay click off. It will be like 20...

Yes its d22 NZ new 2004 king cab 2wd. Im pretty hopeful it is just grounds. What im talking about with the EGR is that it is obviously a motor in the top so it must turn a throttle body like flap to open and close the EGR. That would be my assumption anyway. The fact that I blocked the...

The intake sensor code has me stuck... im not sure this thing has an intake sensor... have to have another look. These things are very basic just a map sensor, throttle position inject some diesel and thats it?

It cranks at a good rate. I have a battery tester and my battery does pass as long as its charged up with all the cranking it did give a bad test today but thats kinda to be expected. It did fail the cranking test at 8.9v though. So you reckon even with another car boosting it. Could still...

Thanks for that confirming kinda what im thinking. There has been a bit of water ingress on the passenger side cabin due to me running my water injection and EGT temp wires/hoses in through there. Just shows should do things right if your going to do it i guess. Doh, will have a further look...

I have a 2004 yd25 Direct Injection model that was initially intermittantly having a problem of not starting for about 6 months or more (cranks but wont start). I simply double switched or tripple switched the ignition when it did his and it seemed to start fine. Thinking it was the glow plugs...

Thanks and bump. Im trying to find the wiring diagram for the glow plug circuit for a 2004 yd25 di 2wd? This manual appears to have the common rail yd25 diagrams but cant find the glow plugs in there? Im having a problem with it not starting on occasion but if flick the key back a couple...
