    Starting troubles

    I just replaced my cylinder head but i can't get the engine to fire... The starter engages and as I'm cracking the fuel lines there is fuel coming out of all of them, but it's not spurting out as it should. Except for cylinder 3 which has just fine pressure. Any thoughts? It was running just...

    Fuel gauge sensor

    So my fuel gauge has stopped working and I'm fairly certain it's tied to the front fuel sensor being old and tired. Looking to replace it though it looks like there are a few different models MB434268, MB572158, MB572159. Does anyone now the difference between the three/ how do I know which...

    Persistent squeek

    I've been stumped by this squeek for a little bit now. I've tightened up the accessory belts but to no avail. Could i be chasing a red herring with the belts? I think if it was the turbo it would have donated by now but maybe I'm wrong. Any thoughts?

    Tuning the engine questions

    So maybe some simple questions but i had a couple for the process of adjusting the IP and boost to tune the engine. 1). Is there a way to get exactly the amount of boost you want? ie take the wastage valve off and plug a bike pump into it to adjust it? Or is it just trial and error with your...

    Runaway diesel

    It doesn't really stop with this delica... After installing a new for the van injection pump I've been driving the delica around and it's been fine. I decided on Sunday though to adjust the pump per the specs in "tuning the 4d56 for more power" and when tightening the lock nut on the fuel...

    oil pump drive gear sleeve removal

    So I've been doing a timing belt change + extras s outlined in tojos walk-through. I've gotten the crank seal off but am having trouble getting the oil pump drive gear sleeve removed. Does it “easily“ slide out over the woodruff key? And what have people used to pull it out from its snug...

    Moving a broken delica in neutral

    A quick question.. It's been a slow summer to work on the delica but i have the timing belts off and IP removed. My landlords are looking to move a trailer out through the driveway and the delica is in the way. If it gets towed out of the way in neutral will that affect anything in the engine...

    Delica suddenly died

    So i drove down into town this morning and everything was fine. Driving back up the hill to the house and all of a sudden the engine just quits out. I'm trying to start it again and the starter is spinning away but the engine won't catch. I've primed the fuel filter and just cracked a couple...

    Electrical wiring

    So I'm looking to install a wideband and the manual requests that it is powered by 12V that turns on as the "key on" power is on. Unfortunately it can't be hooked up to the stereo, ignition, glow plugs, fuel pump, or lighting. I'm looking at my wiring diagram and the physical looms and getting...

    Low temp thermostat

    Does anyone out there run lower temp thermostats? 76 vs the stock 82 or 88? I'm reading a little on it and getting the back and forth opinions from the internet. So I figured I'd see if I couldn't get the back and forth opinions of Delica owners!

    Really hot coolant temp

    Driving around as of late my temp guage has been all over the place. Even climbing little hills in Seattle it is wanting to rise up to 1/2 or 3/4. Going up over stepper rises where I'm keeping my egts (post turbo) around 1100 the needle is pushing up against the top mark. I feel like my...

    Automatic Fuel Sending Units

    I've been troubleshooting my erratic fuel gauge as of late. It goes up to F when I fill and will drop down normally when I drive around. The problem comes around the halfway mark where it will drop to E, then come back up to half, up, down, up..until I've burned through enough fuel and it will...

    Toasted Tachometer

    So I've been having problems with my tach for a bit now and it finally bit the dust a little bit ago (I may have gotten super glue into it hoping that it was just slipping on the needle) I've checked the connections from the IP and behind the instrument cluster and they seem fine (don't know how...
