Ok, I got a good starter, installed it and tried to start my 1.6L TD on my
ECO 91 Jetta. Refresher, I put new rings in, new oil pump, the head as been
redone new lifters, valves, guides. The turbo has been overhauled as well as
the IP. Before I put the head on I made sure that #1 piston was up and the
timing mark was lined up so that is TDC correct? Then I made sure the came
was set the same way with the #1 lobes were up and both intake and exhaust
valves closed. Put the head on the car, installed the belt and timed the IP
to .038 inch. I primed the oil system with a drill and let the oil flow out
of the lifters for a little while. The injectors were tested and are good.
I'm getting 12.8 volts to the IP, there is fuel at each injector. From what
I can tell the return fuel line is full of fuel. When I installed the IP I
hooked up my mighty vac to the return line on the pump and pulled fuel
through until it came out solid. The glow plugs are new and I checked them
before I installed them, they are getting 12v as well. The starter turns it
over but it isn't doing anything. I tried to pull start it and it sounds
like it is running in 2nd gear at about 9mph but if I give it fuel it starts
to buck and will not run. It will not run on it's own. No noticeable smoke
out the tail pipe but then I was just concerned with not running over the
tow strap and hitting the tow vehicle. Did I miss anything? The intake
system is nice and clean, fuel filter is good. What could be wrong?
