umm chiper , .. make a new thread and we can deal with that seperatly .... sounds like you have an electrical grimlin livin in the pan though .... make a new thread and more people will see it and help ya

 

I fixed the line and the fitting underneath had caused my fitting to snap, looks like the thread on the; pulse timing adapter? were smammered, I did the best I could at fixing it and started like a dream until I today, Now when I crank I'm getting no smoke out the exhaust and can only get it to start cold if I spray wd40 or some fluid into it, any other time it will start great.

 

What's the temp outside, and are your GP cycling?

 

the outside temp is roughly high 90's but its down to 80's now, and ive tried cycling the plugs nearly a dozen times to no prevail, cranking it with some type of spray has been my best bet for the cold starting, tomorrow I'm going to run some new wire from the starter solenoid to the glow plug relay, maybe its losing power somewhere along the way.

 

sounds like your GP controller is toast ...

 

hopefully not as this one is less than 3 months old

 

dosent mean a thing ... i had a 454 from a real well known high performance builder ... put it in and got it all hooked up ... started it up and with in 2 min, we had rods rattling .... so we called them back to let them know .... and now my boss was pissed because there was a race that weekend ..... they litterly raced an engine form seattle to Wenatchee, wa just for us ... and it was a 540 not a 454 ... same price not even a hick up this time .... not everything new is good all the time .....

 

True, I like to thing that usually the "new" items will be good right out of the box but usually with me that's my luck. Case and point, I had to buy 3 new carburetors for the bronco that's been resting in my garage, since the newly bought ones had the bodies cracked, sooo I just took a 3 hour drive to Maricopa and salvaged myself a pieces to rebuild mine

Welp, I went outside this morning and its as if nothings changed. Just cranked cranked and cranked, no white smoke or signs of life from the exhaust, I drained the water separator on the fuel filter, and nothing came out so I suspect a clogged line or bad filter, I'll pull it off soon.

 

My 1992 does that sometimes, it starts when it goes on a battery charger for a few minutes.

 

This batteries look like there need to be replaced (acid leaking on the tops) but I can't afford it right now, So it's on the list to come soon. If I keep getting grief like this the IDI will come out and either a 12 valve ve or a common rail will take its place and the IDI will be going into my bronco
