Very high Idle Speed about 1200rpm ???

Post by jancy »

Hey people,

I'm Jan and just bought my first delica here in Chile;-)

tec specs: 1994, 2,8 Diesel 4M40, Automatic, Transformer, 190.000km

So far the car runs very good but I have a few tecnical questions that I need you guys help for.

The biggest problem I have the the hight idle speed which is with hot engine about 1200rpm. I know that it should be around 800rpm. What they have recently changed ist the timing chain. Also they disconected the aircon that sits under the car because of a broken fan and blocked pipes. Othervise the engine runs smooth and has power as well. No black or white smoke coming out.

Questions:
Is the diesel injector pump 100% mecanical or is there a blackbox ajusting it automaticly?
I know that if you turn on the aircon the idle speed should go up. Which component tells the injector pump to increase it???
Maybe the pump just needs ajustment ?

Also there is a turbotimer fitted. Is this only there for leaving the engine running a little bit longer to cool down the turbo before turning off? (set on 30 sec.)

For some help, answers or advises I would be very thankfull!!

Thanks a lot!

Jan

does not sound like IP (so to speak), there is cold/warm idle adjust above/on top of IP that sounds like it needs adjustment (heavy spring attached to this part). There is a nice step by step in the manual, if not search forum, I know it has come up before. It may take a couple adjustments alternating between cold/warm. If you have good power and no smoke, the IP itself is probably in fine condition.

So far I couldn't find the manuel for ajusting. But good advise!

When engine is cold it idles ok on about 850rpm.
