Cold Start Sensor??

[batman3n1]

Hi All,

I was wondering if there is a cold start sensor on my '86 6.9 turbo? I had it in for a fuel pump replacement and the mechanic said due to it being hard to start it could be that that part is bad.

What happens is when I'm cranking the engine i see a small amount of white smoke coming from the exaust and when it finally does catch, it blows a cloud of dark smoke out. Is there such a sensor and if there is, is it easy to change? Thanks in advance.

There is an engine temp switch which allows power to the fast idle and timing advance... check those items cold engine key on..... they are located on the IP... all three wires should have power.

Also how long does the wait to start light stay on..... older models had problems in that area..... the GP controller stays on and fries the Glow plugs...... most members have modified their systems to a "push button operation".... do not use an on/off switch.

Ziggster's page has the how too just disregard the on/off switch, use a pushbutton. You will be required to test your GPs......
