Hi Guys

Have a LX90 Ive just put a new engine into and cant for the life of me seem to get it to start, it turns over and there seems to be fuel but Im just not sure whats wrong with it.

The car seems to be doing some weird things like when you open the door the stereo etc turn off and the hazard lights flash then after a while it all turns off so starting to get rather annoyed with it.

Any ideas?

Wiring is wrong somewhere i'd take a guess at. Helpful I know

Engine check light come on at all? Had a hard starting pathfinder this morning but in the end it went so not sure what's up there either.

They have a prick of a glow plug control system on them.
Check that the glow plugs are getting 12v when you first turn the ignition on and the glow pug light comes on.
If not, check the glow plug fuse.

Did you connect up the Glow Plug resistor assembly (underside of intake manifold) Get this wrong, and you'll blow the fuse everytime....

Everything looks to be plugged in as its ment to be (its a 2LTE EFI motor if that makes any difference)

The glow plug light comes on when you turn the car on and turns off after no very long but havent checked the glow plugs themselves with a volt meter

all the 2LTE's i've had anything to do with have run 7v or 9v(from memory) glow plugs they certainly dont get 12 volts to them.

Managed to get it started after ripping the cheap nasty looking alarm out of it

its running a bit funny and doing a few funky things but at least it starts now

Ahh, yup, you're right - the plain 2L and possibly 2L-T (not e) have a 12v glow that drops down to 7v 'afterglow', and the 2L-TE have the low volt plugs.

The 12v-7v 'superglow' system has so many points of failure and is a major pain in the ass.

Glad you got it going Nu-Del
