big ives Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Hello 300tdi Defender engine Rebuilt engine and was running good, however it started to run a bit lumpy today while ticking over today, you would think it was running on 3 cylinders give it a few revs and its ok but when ticking over again lumpy it has only just started to do this Only about 2000miles on the engine, new injectors, new bosch reconditioned FIP, new lift pump, new timing belt all set up as per timing instructions Last night I checkedChecked the injector’s by slacking the nut one by one on each cylinder no problemsOpened the fuel filter bleed of with engine running lift pump workingOpened the rocker cover and checked the tappets and made sure the adjusting screws on the tappets had not broken. TodayWant to check the gauze filter on the lift pump???? What else can I look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reiny Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Strange really. I was going to suggest taking your FIP for a service but you have done so very recently. I took mine last week and the difference was huge. Diesel specialist told me that he found some broken springs and they would have contributed to a rough idle.
