'80 300TD no start - What the ?
My 300TD has decided to go into hibernation mode, it appears.
The car was running GREAT and had no starting issues. Now it won't start for nothing.... Here is what I've checked already: Glow plugs - working fine Fuel filters - good Injectors - very recently rebuilt Fuel Bleeder - bleed Shut Off Valve - disconnected I've cracked the lines at the injectors and the delivery valves and fuel seems to seep out when cranking (as opposed to high pressure). Is there somewhere on/in the injector pump I should check (blockage?) ? Did my pump just suddenly die? This has me baffled.... Thanks in advance, Klaus

This is kind of a cop out answer, but I would say medium. Doesn't sound different from when it normally started.

Fuel tank vent plugged up,vacuum preventing fuel from getting up to the engine at full flow?

Was the fuel system opened recently? Could be air, or gelled fuel? Mine was fine one night, next day no start, but that was because of a blown GP fuse and faulty GP's

If you're getting a weep out of the lines at injectors, it would seem your FP is okay. Let GP's go through a full cycle, turn key wait till you hear a click and dash lights brighten, the light will have been out for some time, before hitting starter. Good luck.
