    200tdi idle

    Help please. Will a 200tdi idle when the cable is off and the injector pump lever is resting on the stop screw? Ive just swapped out my 200tdi for another unit (long story) but i will not idle. If i manually adjust the top lever as in jam it half open on the pump, the engine runs fine. It revs fine and very little smoke. I’ve ordered a new cable as the thats on it is 50cm to long and is just a big loop! I can also get the engine to run if i hold down the throttle fully on the pedal. But as soon as I lift half off, she slows until it finally stalls. Or i depress and up she revs again. Any suggestions, greatly appreciated.

    The screw on the pump is the idle speed screw, so yes, it should run without the cable hooked up.

    Ahhh

    Thank you for the reply. Means its something else then. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Tried the fresh fuel in a bottle to pump to eliminate tank. No difference. Have put a load of diesel cleaner through the pump too. New filter, new lift pump. Back to the drawing board.

    Why did you pull the original off?

    200tdi Idle, Mystery 2 me


    Hello Grant


    Sorry I can't help with your idle problem.
    It sounds as though something is sticking in the fuel delivery system.

    I purchased that Defender unregistered so never drove it any distance.
    I only ever drove it round the block a couple of times and had no engine issues at all.
    I used to start it up regularly and run it for 15 minutes or so to keep the battery charged.

    I have a low Km 200tdi in my shed out of a 93 Discovery I am planning to sell soon, but I believe the timing casing is slightly different.

    Regards
