Greetings folks
Last night I went about half nuts tracing the problem,
and finally traced it to a wire that had pulled out of a
terminal junction point under the dash, between the fuse block and the
relays.
So, now I have the circuits hot to the relays, and I can ground the temp
switch on the wastegate heat shield and get the injector cooler blower to
come on, and I can short the two terminals on the temp switch at the
radiator hose outlet at the head, and get the rad fan to turn on, but I
haven't been able to get the thing hot enough to have either circuit turn on
automatically.
In the meantime the problem remains that once the engine is up to temp and
turned off for 5 minutes, the engine won't start for hours and hours..
until the engine temp drops below 75F or so, which on a hot day can take all
day.
When it finally starts, it starts on one cylinder, then two, then picks up
all 5.
All of the injectors have been recently replaced, as has the fuel
distributor head. Do these symptoms ring a bell?
Thanks in advance,
Mark
