Diesel engine won't rev ? Try this first ! Free fix.

If your old diesel engine starts up but won't rev even if you floor it, there's a big chance that the tiny mesh filter under the banjo bolt entering the high pressure pump is clogged.
Have a look at that first since it's an easy job, and I also give you some other leads that might help you solve a problem with an engine that won't run well.

I have had 'banjo" fittings blocked on tractors and also the gauze filter as you say. Greetings from New Zealand,

2 years ago my Peugeot 1.4 HDi diesel would start but not rev. It had been sub zero for days & the moisture in the throttle body had frozen. I let it run & it gradually started to rev.
