BogMonster Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Have you checked the glow plugs are getting power (i.e. that the timer unit is working properly) - should have 12V at the plugs when you switch the ignition on, then the glowplug light on the dash will go out, a few seconds later will be an audible click and power to the plugs should shut off. Check the Alarm Spider Post in the tech archive, and follow the diagnostics on that - if it will crank but not fire, do you have power to the cutoff solenoid on the injector pump?
