Fuel solenoid problem
Discussion
Hello all. I wonder if anyone can help. I have a 1994 ex military Defender with the 2.5 non turbo diesel. Recently the fuel solenoid fell to bits so I ordered a new one and fitted it this morning.
The spring was missing so I had to stall it to stop the engine but otherwise it started just fine. Five minutes later it wouldn't start again. There doesn't seem to be anything impeding the fuel flow but I took the plunger out anyway to check and it still won't start.
I'm scratching my head but can't think of anything.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply. I tinkered a little this morning and bled the fuel filter (which was fine) and the release screw on the pump itself which had lots of bubbles in it.
However, even that wasn't enough to get it to start so I suspect the injectors need some attention as you suggested. I didn't have time today but will look at it later in the week if I get a chance.
