Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / February 2007Jackaroo Diesel fuel problems.
My 3.0D Jackaroo sometimes idles poorly or won't start. The problem can be overcome by using the primer pump to expel air from the system. Is this a "known problem" for these engines? If so how is the air getting in and what is the cure. what year is it there was a recall on them for leaky injectors check with your dealer and tell them that it should be covered as its holden's stuff up > My 3.0D Jackaroo sometimes idles poorly or won't start.

That was done about 6 months ago. The problem started a week ago. > what year is it there was a recall on them for leaky injectors check with > your dealer and tell them that it should be covered as its holden's stuff [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >> this a "known problem" for these engines?

Check all the fuel lines from the tank to the fuel pump there may be a split somewhere and it's sucking air it could also be the pump it's self sucking in air somewhere Kev >> That was done about 6 months ago.

Unfortunately regular use of the primer pump has spilt diesel over the rubber hoses that connect to the primer pump, so it is difficult to tell by inspection if they are leaking. > it could also be the pump it's self sucking in air somewhere > > Kev |
