I had the same problem when we swap engines, and it was just air still in there, keep cracking the injectors.

BTW what was wrong with the other engine ?

ok it revs up now ........but it stalls when i take my foot off , oh yes it is also chucking out alot of smoke . now i must admit that although i am a mechanic i would class my self as a novice when it comes to diesel's so sorry if i sound as if i don't know what im doing .
i must admit that i have impressed my self with what i have done so far as i have not been looking forward to this at all , i supose this is what happens when you are a petrol head at heart.
ps, i do appricate your help thanx very much markymoan,siweb and any one els that can help .
brian(clueless)!

What colour is the smoke, it may just want the pump adjusting a touch Smile

Hoping its not a tooth out its just a few mins to set the pump to your liking,
Theres a link on here somewhere with the pdf manual for the 2.8.

Is it breathing heavy from the dip stick when you take it out?

it is a little , spits a few spots of oil as well, but not real bad, not enough to say the rings have gone.

Could be allsorts mate, maybe the injectors arnt atomising properly, if they dont it will struggle to run.
Its hard to say over the net, it needs looking at by a diesel fitter.
