Pajero Owners Club of South Africa

Hi Guys & Dolls

Have just replaced my 1997 Paj 4M40 motor with another.
Here is the puzzle: Starts and purrs like a kitten until the glowplugs switch off, then smokes and coughs and splutters something terrible.
Any bright ideas as to the cause?

Most diesels have what they call an "afterglow", I think it carries on supplying voltage to the glowplugs for a while but probably at a lower voltage until the engine warms up a bit. I know my Ford 2.5tdi had it I believe Pajero would have it too.

Thanks for the reply.
Have checked all relays and connections.....................all seem ok.

Hi

Some feedback.

It turned out to be the Spill Timing

Now running smoothly.
