Make it run DIESEL for DUMMIES
OK here goes. In got the car home and I'm checking things out ('82 240D). The PO even dumber than I am by the looks of the vac system.
Vacuum system corrected and in tact.
New fuel hoses and filters before the IP
All injectors and lines were found loose at the injectors and the pump.
So I pulled each injector out for a look. Nothing realy obviously damaged;. I hooked up a battery and gave it a crank or two. It sounds normal for all I know. I have no compression tester at this time but she sound like each cylinder is there.. The thing I did notice is very little fuel coming from th IP. I kind of expected gushing amounts from each line, but only got spit.
Does it sound as if the IP died to any of you?
Second question, where can a backyard guy like me find a high pressure compression tester reasonably?
