Hi all,
Finally got my 602 nightmare running, idle smooths and fires right off!!
But she seems to only be pushing about 20hp (might be the tranny, acts like it's starting in 3rd...looking into it... )
Anyway, When I run a boost gauge right on the intake manifold, you get into the throttle and right off it spools out about 1psi and then immediately pulls back to about 5-6 in/hg on my gauge and hold there??!? Now, I may not be the most pious guy at church, but this seems odd. The whole reason a diesel has a vacuumpump is because there is (unlike a gasser) pressure in the intake manifold!
Now, I've played w/ my fair share of MB diesels (second car was a 617 when I was just getting serious about wrenching) and no matter how bad the boost control fails I've never gotten less than zero pressure, never a vacuum ....
I guess what I am asking is: Does this point to anything in particular??
The car is very very doggy and I need to figure out why and I am sure that this has something to do w/ it...
Thanks guys,
-Matt-
