Picked up 93 300d a rough running parts car, maybe injection pump timing?
So originally i was going to pull a spare head and injection pump from a different car. Decided to make an offer on a car over 100 miles away. Made the trip out there, its 93 300d with 355k on it. Has the Mercedes badges for mileage on the grill. Anyways the car was of course in rougher shape even after i specifically asked some stuff. Took it for a test drive, zero power and running rough until 10mph and then it takes off. Took in a 15 min test drive came back let it idle for another 10. Of course after money exchanges hands it dies and will barely restart. I make it about 3 miles down the road to diesel gas station. dies again will restart but wont stay running. Long story short glad i have AAA.
Looking on places to start, it seems like its flooding. When cold it will idle and stay running. I can put my hand on the throttle and move it and hear the turbo spool. At higher rpm it smooths right out. Once warm it bogs out. Honestly don't care to much, bought it for parts but would like some knowledge. I was planning on pulling an injectors, wondering if they are just peeing fuel.
