Evening all.
First post and I'm asking for help... Always the way.
Wife's berlingo chewed up its cambelt a few weeks back. I managed to source a s/hand engine with 72k on the clock complete with all ancillaries for a good price.
I've spent a good few hours in the garage over the past few days. New clutch, new cambelt etc just to be safe. Old engine out and new one in....
But... it won't fire up. Turns over fine, I've bled the pump repeatedly and there is no air. I've replaced and checked the glowplug system and its fine. I cracked off no1 injector and no fuel.. Nadda. Checked no 4 and the same...
So I have fuel at the pump but not at the injector... So I'm thinking stop solenoid.. So I checked for power at the connector.. 1 wire seems to be permenant live, one goes live with the ignition and then other appears to be earth.. Which from my readings on google sounds correct.
So I then checked the resistance across the solenoid and its about 5 between the two neighbouring pins.. Normal??
I do have the known good pump from the old engine but before I have to take the pump off and redo the belt/timing etc can anyone suggest anything else to check...
Oh.. The engine was a good runner before it came out of the donor car..
Cheers Jim
