I am now turning the key on then I'm pushing the accelerator all the way down then releasing. Same exact problem. It starts for a...

    CUCV starting problems

    OK I'm replacing the glow plugs this Saturday. Replacing the fuel filter also. I hold the pedal to the floor when it's cold outside and half way when its warmer outside. After I've driven it and it's warm I don't touch the throttle and it starts just fine if it doesn't sit for more than a few...

    1009 Rear window stuck in down position

    Sounds like mine has the same problem. I took the cover panel off and found a lever/guide was catching on the piece holding the glass at the bottom of the glass. Tried to bend it back in and only kinda helped. I have a new regulator but didn't know how to replace it. Anybody know of a youtube...

    CUCV starting problems

    Hi All you Mechanic Guru's. I have a starting problem on my 1986 6.2L. If it were a gas engine I'd think it was a carburetor choke high idle problem. But have no clue on my diesel. It used to start almost immediately even at 0 degrees. Both batteries are fairly new. I turn the key half way...

    Fan switch 1986 CUCV

    Found a new piece of information. The fuse wherever it is is fine. If I move the back side of the switch the fan motor runs. So I'm assuming I need a new switch? Would someplace like NAPA carry it? Any idea on the original P/N? Last how do you get the back part of the switch off?

I have the dash pulled apart and cleaned all the connections but that didn't help. Then I thought duh maybe the fuse is blown...
