Hello
I have a Suzuki samurai with the XUD9 TD engine with the lucas pump where a solenoid cuts the fuel flow unless the correct code is entered inside the passenger compartment.
A short summary:
Bought the car and got it transported by a truck since i bought it 5 hours from home, when the car was loaded off, it did not start even if the right code was entred, ie there was no diesel from the injector pipes at all.
After grinding the anti-theft cover that encloses the immobilizer i then removed the solenoid and blew down in the hole with compressed air, then installed the solenoid and the car fired up right away. If it was because of the compressed air or if it was because of all the interuption the solenoid had I we do not know.
Shortly after this I decided to change the cambelt and since then the car does not start more than a few seconds and until it dies again.
What separates this case from the first one is:
-Diesel comes out of the injection pipes when it is running on the starter
-The car starts and goes for a second or two before it dies
The holes in the camshaft pulley & pump pulley are in line with the holes in the block so I doubt thats the problem, especially when the car starts for a few seconds before it dies.
Have changed:
Glow plugs (they work)
Fuel Filter
Bypassed the fuel filter to see if there is something wrong there
Bleeded filter, inlet to pump and out at the injection pipes.
So all XUD specialist here, what are your theories? I suspect the the solenoid, could it loose the voltage when the engine cranks and release the "plunger" so the car stops? I have tried so many different things so I cant remember all of them but I have a weak memory of me cranking the engine with the solenoid loose and the plunger stayed in place all the time.
Is it possible to just pull the plunger right out? Have tried this and feels like I am going to rip the whole rubber thing in pieces.
Any other theories?
Car is in really good condition with only 25000 miles on the clock so we could exclude piston ring wear.
