The latest in the ever growing list of things to go wrong with this effing truck is as follows

A couple of times i have tried to start it from cold and it has been a pain and very reluctant to start infact today i had to give it a sniff of something stronger as it wasn;t gonna start at all......but here is the thing when it does start and i press the accelerater pedal....nowt ? no increase in revs just nothing...it ticks over but wont rev ? when it has ticked over for a couple of minutes then it will rev

What the F is that all about ?

Sounds like the fuel is running back to the tank

The primer is hard and you can maybe get 1 or 2 pumps of plunger at most ?

Maybe LezT can help, are the glow plugs working ok?

Sounds like fuel drop to me too...

glow plugs are all working ok filter is less than 1000 mile old.....

What and where would cause fuel drop ?

It does feel and sound when i am turning it over that there is either a lack of fuel or air.

Can there be a lack of fuel if the primer is hard ?

could be
had any work done on it recently

Forgot to add....this doesnt happen all the time. This morning it started first time ( although it winds over a bit before firing ) then drove it about 10 mile where it wa.s parked up for about 6 hours then it wouldnt start

did ya try primming it after the 6 hour stand?

lol dont do it mate

primming?

weird

what the injectors like?

The injectors are A ok and were tested prior to fitting

timming?

I will check the timing but all the belts were done 6 month ago and i have done less than a thousand mile since then

dont mean a thing mate could be one tooth out and ya didnt realise until now its cold

but once it started why wouldn't it rev ?

could be fuel pump timming out slightly could it not?

I will check the timing in the morning and report back (just before i shoot it )

lol burn it better u will get paid out for fire

Yea but i will get more pleasure it shooting the crap out of it LOL

lol i know

My money is still on the fuel pressure dropping, then it wont rev properly till it builds it back up.

another thing that happens is i have a flat spot just as i press the accelerater ...there is a momentory pause just below 1000 rpm where it seems to take a while to catch up so to speak. If i raise the tick over a tiny bit by pressing the pedal just a smidgen and then push the pedal hard it revs freely but if i push hard from tick over then there is a pause.

if that makes sense
