Mcat1974 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Unless I put the key in for 5 seconds then turn the diesel engine. If I turn straight away the engine just turns. Used to start 1st time always until the fuel filter was changed. Car runs normally once started. Could it be air In the fuel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcat1974 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yes. Think it's a loose connector back to the fuel filter that was changed. It rud and drives fine just starting takes 5 secs or so. Guess it could be air getting into the fuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 And does it ALWAYS start if you leave the key in for 5 seconds? Is this on ignition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcat1974 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Yes. Think it's allowing the fuel to prime. However if I do it before it used to start 1st time. Now it'll just turn... I know that the only thing that has changed has been the fuel filter change..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
