Welcome, ChevyHDMan! You've already gotten the advice on what to do, hopefully you'll be up and running soon. Who knows, getting some good runs on the road might help clean out the system a bit.

You've got yourself an '87 300D, which were all turbos. The TD in 300TD denotes Touring (and/or Transport to some) Diesel which is the wagon, or Estate, model. Also turbo. '87 300TD's are fairly hard to come by, 300D's are more plentiful.

You should add your location in your CP, sounds like a car I looked at.
