      Pull the injectors. Perform a compression check. If compression is good pop test the injector and perform pump timing as recommended. My guess is you have a leaking injector causing you to lose prime and also dripping fuel into the cylinders causing the excessive smoke on start up.

    @xmikewallace17 Рік тому +3

    White smoke in generally an indicator of either a coolant, head gasket, or throttle body issue. Since it goes away after first startup I would lean toward getting either the throttle body replaced or cleaned. A dirty throttle body will cause a rough idle. When you give it gas it will push the grime out to give it air. After you let it sit, the grime will settle again. Hope this helps!! If you even see it lol

  • @trumpio
    @trumpio Рік тому +92

    My vote is for an injection timing issue especially given the recent pump change. Usually retarded injection timing will result in white smoke on startup that tends to clear up as the combustion chamber heats up. If it’s not using coolant, or making a milkshake in the cooling system, I’d start with verifying the injection timing. I’d also consider getting the injectors serviced to ensure there’s no debris from the old pump causing issues with the injectors sticking and/or leaking down overnight.

    • @TechOut
      @TechOut Рік тому +8

      But she said that issue occurred before the pump change and they thought it was that and it didn't fix the rough idle on first start. I think it's bad glow plugs or a leaky injector leaking a bit of fuel into a cylinder while it sits. More so injector since it's not cold enough for bad glow plugs to be a huge deal.

    • @trumpio
      @trumpio Рік тому +3

      @@TechOut Yeah, it's still possible the crank sprocket slipped and the new pump wasn't re-timed correctly relative to the actual crankshaft itself. Checking the pump timing at actual TDC is really the only way to ensure it's correct. Also possible the old pump was pushing debris into the injectors causing a small leak after shutdown.

There's really nothing like a defender. Some wise words from Landrover themselves "One life, Live it" so for what it's worth, from one Defender addict to another, Here's wishing you many more adventures.

    While the glow plug indicator light may come on and go off as expected, individual glow plugs could still be faulty. If one or more glow plugs are not working correctly, it can lead to incomplete combustion during startup, resulting in rough idling and smoke. Have a mechanic check the glow plugs and the glow plug relay to ensure they are functioning properly.

    • @sodbuster518able
      @sodbuster518able Рік тому

      Get a simple 12 volt test light,hook to power cable at alternator touch each glow plugs terminal for continuity.disconnect each power wire at glow plug touch terminal on glow plugs with test light, light comes on glow plug is good.. check for something that might have been over looked by last mechanic,he might have missed a wire harness plug.

    • @SeeScottPun
      @SeeScottPun Рік тому +1

      The glow plug relay is responsible for controlling the power supply to the glow plugs. The mechanic will locate the relay, usually in the engine compartment fuse box or a separate relay box. They may use a multimeter or a test light to check if the relay is receiving power when the ignition is turned on and if it is sending power to the glow plugs during the preheating phase. If the relay is not functioning correctly, it may need to be replaced.
      Each glow plug has a heating element inside, and its resistance can be tested with a multimeter. The mechanic will disconnect the electrical connector from each glow plug and then use the multimeter to measure the resistance between the glow plug's terminal and its body. A healthy glow plug will typically have a specific resistance value within a specified range. If a glow plug shows infinite resistance (open circuit) or very low resistance, it may be faulty and need replacement.
      The mechanic will also verify if the glow plugs are receiving power during the preheating phase. They can do this by reconnecting the electrical connectors to the glow plugs, then turning the ignition to the "ON" position (without starting the engine) and using a multimeter to check for voltage at each glow plug's electrical connector. If there's no power at the glow plugs during the preheating phase, the relay or the wiring might be the issue.

    Wow, she's definitely a trooper for taking on this new life. May everything work out for you two, she really seems like a wonderful person. Bro maybe you should give her a project for her to do around the house, like maybe have her decide what kind of veggies to plant so she has her own project. Just a thought, if you are a couple you should enjoy each other's company for a bit.
