Hey Guys
Wonder if anyone can assist me or give me some advice,
I put some diesel in my ZD30, Got on the highway and the next moment i lost power and had covered the highway in a james bond style smoke screen. Anyway stopped the vehicle and noticed a rough idle
My first though was stuck injector, had the vehicle towed home and started diagnosing the problem, i have done the following
Compression test - OK
Check oil in coolent - No Oil in coolent
Check for coolent in oil - No coolent in oil
Oil level - did not rise at all
Sent Injectors in to get serviced, Guy said ther was nothing wrong with them, they spray perfectly, Re-installed the injectors but i still have arough idle. Next i cracked each of the injector nuts while the ingine was running and saw that they all spray strong except Nr4
Nr4 cylinder does not seem to get enough diesel.
My Question is,
Can this be a blockage due to water getting into my injector pump? (No ECU warning by the way)
Would i need to start shopping for a new pump - Damm i hope not. ?
It is only the NR4 cylinder that is had weak pressure, any reason for this, i was under the impression that if the pump fails it does not have any pressure (Or very little in all the cylinders)
My Diesel mec said i should try putting in some additive that will dissolve water present in the fuel and see if it will possibly clear the blockage (If any)
Thanks guys i really appreciate any feedback/advice
Cheers
