Hi I have a 00 trooper 3.0 which is very hard to start and runs very bad. It broke down on me 2 years ago about 9000miles after getting recall on injectors. The orps looks to been changed due to plug been cable tied back on. I checked the ropcv if it was free and it seems to be getting abit 7/8 mm free travel in it. Tried the white wire trick to and still no different could some one please help my thanks

Sounds like a fuel problem ,its not clear from your post has it been stood since it broke down or was that the last work on the engine ?
Have you got air free fuel coming from the 10mm bleed screw on the filter when you pump the primer ? _________________ 2 New Troopers ! |

Sorry it been at a stand still since it broke down on me and 9000mile before that it had the work done to it. Must check that no to be honest I didn't think of that because I know how troublesome the injection system can be. I currently have the rocker cover of and when swinging the engine I have noticed oil squirting from cylinder 1 area squirt out towards passenger side along with a clicking noise. If been doing it on my own so can't see exactly were it's coming from but don't think it's normal because seen videos online of the engines running with no rocker cover and no oil squirting ? I am a hgv diesel mechanic myself just unfamiliar with the huei system |

Squinting oil and clicking shows the injectors are working so it's probably fuel troubles you have.there is an issue if oil comes out of two ports at once but I can't remember how it is as I am now an old git so wait for eithan as he's younger .
Remember the 3.0 uses oil at high pressure to inject the fuel . _________________ 2 New Troopers ! |

is it only coming from 1 injector when cranking? if it's all of them then that sounds ok and your looking at a fuel problem somewhere, if it's only 1 injector then it's most likely that injector is faulty and not holding the oil pressure in the rail.
another test would be to disconnect the cam sensor and crank it over it shouldn't enable the injectors so they shouldn't be squirting at all |

Is there an electric fuel pump in the tank of these. Drawn a lot of air when it's on it's own tank and can't find any obvious leaks or cracks but runs 100% when on the drum of diesel |

no so it sounds like you may have rusty fuel lines or a leaking primer unit |

What way is the pick up in the tanks on them. I just compressed my fuel lines with air and can't see one leak tank is fairly rusty just wonder in could the pickup be Rotton inside it |

You won't do much good putting air pressure down the lines .
Works on suction . So if the fuel coming from the tank has air in it then . . . .
One line sucks fuel up and one returns it . _________________ 2 New Troopers ! |

Ya but I had the suction pipe all sprayed with soapy water as if you was looking for and air leak on a lorry would that not show up a broken line. How would you go about checking them cause I can't see any clear leaks or damp spots |

Top of the tank is the favourite place |

Lads an update for ye. Fixed up my tank steel pipes on top were badly Rotton. Have 4x4 starting and driving now. Start after about 3 turns on first fire. Now when it starts it's a bit spluttery going up through the revs but goes out of it after a few minutes. But I don't feel like it's getting full power it goes to 2500rpm fairly ok but after that very slow to climb. What ye think |
