Hi Guys,
I am having issues with starting up my 2.8 Patrol.
Year: 1998
Turbo Diesel Inter-cooled engine
If i start the car when its cold, it will start without giving me any sort of issues. But if the engine is still warm when I start it, it will crank and crank and crank as though there was no fuel in the tank!
When it eventually starts after a million tries, theres a lot black smoke out the back!
I took it to one of the local mechanics here in Newcastle, and was told its the fuel pump problem, and changing it, unfortunately is way out of my budget!
Are there any other ways I can go about this and still have a vehicle which starts when warm?
All help is appreciated.
Thanks
Sujay
