Thanks. I found a gauge, and the pressure at the temperature sensor on the regulator is around zero. I'll look at that system and see if I can find the problem.

Thanks. I'm going to find a gauge and check the fuel pressure at the regulator as I'm running out of ideas. The timing is my primary other idea, but I don't think it's that.

I checked the immobilizer, tried with an auxiliary ground to the engine and ECU, and with a booster pack to keep the voltage up when cranking. No success. What voltage is needed to be maintained to fire the injectors? My plan now is to check battery voltage when cranking, check the fuel pressure at the regulator, and the timing.

The battery is new. I will check the voltage drop when cranking. I tried different crank sensors and got the same results. I appreciate all replies. I have a list of things to try and check, and will report back.

I've thought about tow starting it, but it really appears to me that the cranking RPM is higher than what the tools are displaying. The starter is new, with a new large battery, and I tried with a battery booster pack too. There appears to be a discrepancy between the true cranking RPM and what the ECU is showing. If the true engine RPM is higher than what the ECU is operating on, would tow starting damage something?

I believe that I set the timing correctly, but it is one thing that I will check again. Would the timing off result in an incorrect cranking RPM signal?

The truck was used by a construction company, until an array of issues not related to the engine running resulted in it being parked in a junkyard for 6-8 years. I was told that it was started briefly about 3 years ago when in the junkyard. I brought it and did a full restoration and engine rebuild. I did not try starting it prior to the rebuild. The fuel pump comes on, and to me sounds normal. Any chance the flywheel could be a crank signal issues?

Hi, I’m having problems starting a TD5 engine that I rebuilt. It’s in a 2004 Defender. The engine turns over well and has a new starter motor. All of the injectors click when tested with a Nanocom. No security codes are shown. I believe that the issue is related to the crank sensor date that the ECU gets. With Nanocom and Lynx tools, I’m seeing a cranking RPM of 220-235. I’ve seen online that the TD5 needs a cranking RPM above 300 for the injectors to fire. The engine definitely sounds likes it’s turning over well, with a cranking RPM that is equal to or better than a TD5 Discovery I have that starts well. I’ve tried different crank sensors with and without the NSJ000010 spacer, a different ECU, and a new plug and shielded wiring direct from the sensor to the ECU, with the same 220-235 RPM results. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi, My front axle is rusted to the point where the axle code can not be deciphered. Is there any way to determine the code from the axle features and VIN? The vehicle is 2004 TD5 Defender 110 double cab, with vented disks. VIN 4A668311. I'm trying to find the correct stub axles and CV joints. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hello, I’m considering converting a 127 Rapier Defender with a 3.5 V8 and LT77 to a 200tdi. Are the engine mounts, bell housing, and output shaft on the transfer box the primary considerations? I appreciate any input.
