Just bought a 94 4m40 2.8TD, 50,000km, which is a fresh Jap import
We live in the lower half of the south island
It has a real bad miss on cold start up.
If let to idle on cold start up, it has a miss for 30 sec and exhausts clouds of pale blue
smoke, for the period of the missing
If I give it 1500 revs on cold start up, it will clear itself within 10 sec
No problems with warm start up.
We had the glow plugs tested, timing checked and timing reset. It was advanced
by 8 deg !. Pump was checked by a second diesel service workshop, one of the pump
seals was replaced & K dimension checked out.
No difference.
The dealer (Canterbury), and his nominated local workshop (Southland based) said this is quite normal
I beg to differ. We have friends with the same type vehicle. No miss on cold start up for them !
It had got the pros beat at this point
Any suggestions
