Won't rev amongst other things

[Danny2009]

Having issues with the car

Won't rev past 3.5-4k gov is shimmed solid so is not that, it drives like it's not goved

White smokes the street out when cold and hunts like its on veg

Fuel filters clean and so is the strainer

Only ran on shell diesel

Warm or cold it smokes white and diesel knocks Dosent smoke as much when warm only when revving the engine, fires straight up when cold but smokes so it's not glowies

Tried advancing and retarding pump makes no if little differance

Anyone have any ideas?

timing out on belt? . . .

[Danny2009]

Good shout ill check that what would cause it to stop reving tho

Mines been doing this since I bought it and more recently strange noises are coming from the pump/belt so it would well be timing. I need to get mine checked when the Bosch goes on.

[Danny2009]

Just don't understand how it won't rev under load or idle just won't do it

Seriously thinking about breaking it (que the vultchures)

[karl1989]

When mine wouldn't rev at all it was the gov that went into pieces in the pump. Think Jenk still has the remainder of the pump full with springs and washers lol

[Danny2009]

Don't think it's that pal took the gov out other day,

It revs round to 5k now at idle but pops like a petrol backfire and when you let off the revs if won't idle just cuts out then runs like shit on start up

[silverzx]

Sorry I meant mine smokes white and hunts even on diesel like yours but it doesn't stop it reving - not that I can see what its reving to as I have no tacho.

[Danny2009]

Timings fine

[karl1989]

Sure you got throttle arm on ok. Check injectors too

[Tom]

That sounds like the timing stuff inside the pump is f*cked, take the lid off again and check your gov is still there lol

[Danny2009]

I had the top off last Saturday it was still there and it was doing it before but another look won't hurt

[Paul_13]

Is the actually timing of the derv pump ok?

[Danny2009]

Sorted it, stripped the threads on the studs the pump goes on so wasn't nipping up properly and pump was moving about

Replaced the studs and it's ok now

[Paul_13]

You must of been bollocking them up then!

But yeah that would cause your problem

[Danny2009]

Yea bit heavy handed like things tight

Ahh well live and learn least it's sorted

[Paul_13]

I've learnt my lesson many times, snapped wheel bolts mainly and a couple of caliper bolts
