OKie dokie. Recently, in the past 2 months, I have done the following... in an effort to get this rig reliable and worry free as it is my new daily driver.
Transgo shift kit (no issues after install)
New fuel filter (no issues after install)
New Batteries (no issues after install)
Oil change (no issues after install)
New 2-0 gauge welders cable from starter to battery (no issues after install)
All wires for batts 2-0 gauge welders cable, installed last Dec (no issues after install)
New PMD cable extension- (no issues after install)
New glow plugs (Bosch)- some trouble starting
New injectors- some trouble starting
KOJO chip- more frequent trouble starting
Boost bumped to 12 pounds.
Feed the beast completed MONDAY.
Air filter cleaned MONDAY
Here's what it is doing- started it up yesterday eve. Took 3 cycles to get it to start and then only barely. Sounded slow turning over... very slow... like dying batteries. Put meter to batts after starting- 14.35v.
This morning- took 3 key cycles to start again, but checked batts first. Again, 14.3 volts. It finally started but just barely. Drove fine. Volts after start were again 14+ volts.
After my drive this morning, turned it off. Immediately went for restart... it wouldnt. It cranked slow as hell. Eventually all I could here was the solenoid clunk. 12.7 volts after a few tries. Hooked up jumpers to other car. Only solenoid clunk.
Starter? I ask because every bad starter I have ever had died almost instantly, not over time (at least not audible like this one).
Thanks-
