2008 Patrol Diesel Pump not priming

[poddy]

Check glow plugs, sounds more like that than fuel priming to me. The fuel will ignite in the cylinder based on compression and droplet size...

It's not the glow plugs; I've swapped the set and nothing changed. Not a damn thing. But yea, I see where you were coming from. 2 were no good anyway, sothat would have to be done anyway. Thank you

id be thinking glow plug relay (near the drivers right knee abour the fuse box)

K, I don't think it will be the relay; I've had the multimeter hooked between battery (-) terminal and a tip of one of the NEW glow plugs, and it behaved like they describe in the manual that it should. It had around 11V when priming, opr when the glow plug little light on the dash was on. And it would return to 0V when the little dash light went out. So I made an assumption this behaviour is correct. Please do correct me if I am missing something. Many thanks.

or fuel pressure relief valve it might not be close allowing to build pressure, how does it start if you have it running then turn it off and then 10 seconds later start it back up? does it take awhile to start or does it go good?

check oul my thread about testint and replacing the valve

Yep, this is the next patient for Dr. Poddy. Thank you so much for that link; I'll post back when done.

Agree with the other guys... unlikely to be the pump on a CRD, possible but unlikely.
Check the glow plugs and operation first then move onto relief valve etc

On it.

I'll move onto the fprv tomorrow and then see how that goes. I'll keep you posted. Thanks everyone.
