Hi
GP's are 12v. There is a resister that drops voltage from 24v to 12v to supply GP's. It is mounted on firewall behind engine. I bypassed the GP relay and put a button on the dash wired to solenoid and fired them manually. 10-15 seconds on button and it will fire right up. I moved power...
Sounds like glow plugs. All plugs working? Solenoid triggering? Still 24v? Check valve doesn't help. I converted one of my CUCVs to manual button for glow plugs. 10 seconds summer, 15 seconds winter.
One was converted to 12v by local FD. Couldn't get started when they needed it. They...
http://www.owens-export.com has them.
Was around $25 for two I believe. I did the check valve, rebuilt injector pump, replaced fuel pump, and replaced fuel filter base. Only solved with new fuel pressure switch. It worked great even in dead of winter even if I parked on hill. Good Luck!
Hi all!
My mutt's horn goes off without me touching it. Goes off when turning or changing gears then stops. This just started happening. Any ideas why and how to fix it?
Hi all!
If converting to 12v, take the wire off the end of the resister and swing it around and it is the perfect length to reach the 12v connection block nearby. Even if not converting, much better supply of 12v to glow plugs.
If you want your seat to recline (1009) any of the better model...
If you have the original fuel filter (Stanadyne 80) you may need a new fuel pressure switch behind filter in base. They could be leaking fuel or not. They become cracked (plastic) and make for hard starting even on warm days. $15 part only on M1008 not civy model.
In my M1008, the fire dept. put new filter system in. Sold it off because they couldn't start it most of the time. When I received it, it was converted to 12v. But, it was still wired to resister before going to glow plugs. Easy fix, runs great for 8 years now.
