revs up slow - DBogo - 03-02-2009
alright guys im new to these benz diesels, but not new to diesels, i currently have a 12v cummins, and today picked up a 83 240d 4spd with 110k on it, i have owned 7.3 powerstrokes, 6.2 gm, 1.6 vw, e7 mack, and have worked on all sorts of diesels, i got this thing for next to nothing and its pretty clean, only thing is, its been sitting for about a year and the battery is dead, so i jumped it and when you go to rev it up it seems like it does pretty much nothing, if you hold it wide open it will slowly rev up and eventually wind out but you have to hold it its not responsive at all, im going to start with the fuel filters the spin on and the in line one and see if that helps that might just be it, the restriction, but if thats not the problem then what do you guys suggest

Drain the tank and put clean fuel in it.
RE: revs up slow - DBogo - 03-05-2009
well i changed the filters and seemed to help a little bit, im going to put new fuel in it and see if that helps the rest of the way, and toss some diesel 911 in it
RE: revs up slow - DBogo - 03-06-2009
alright changed the fuel and put in a bunch of diesel 911 didnt help whats next

Are you hitting the MAX stop on the back of the IP? Got air in the fuel lines? When you open fuel cap does it hiss?

found out the issue yesterday, the butterfly in the intake the linkage was seized up only allowing it to go to half throttle seems to be good now
RE: revs up slow - winmutt - 03-08-2009
Heh, butterfly, forgot this was 240d.
RE: revs up slow - ForcedInduction - 03-08-2009
lol, yeah, that thought passed right by me.
RE: revs up slow - DBogo - 03-09-2009
anyone know what the point of that butterfly is, i wedged it open, it seems like it would just be restriction in the intake
RE: revs up slow - ForcedInduction - 03-09-2009
Thats the point, to restrict the intake so more exhaust gas flows through the EGR.
RE: revs up slow - DBogo - 03-09-2009
What's the best way to delete the egr to lower my intake temps and egts
RE: revs up slow - winmutt - 03-10-2009
25 cents and some sealant.
RE: revs up slow - Lowdown89 - 06-22-2009
hey winmutt, just wondering if you could give me a little more info on deleteing my EGR on my 83 300d. 25 cents and some sealent sounds afwul nice. LOL
RE: revs up slow - winmutt - 06-22-2009
I hear the 25cent piece fits in the hole just right.
