Part of the Pyro temp gauge maybe? I don't know. My EGT setup is pre-turbo. Maybe thats why the gauge was froze at 600f

It's still at the office, I couldn't get a tow home today. I will try to get it home tomarrow.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bill

 

Thanks for the info Grady, Is it possible that what ever passed through the turbo now has a valve jammed or stuck open causing the same condition?

I'm not a mechanic so If I'm off base here, please let me know

Pyro is in the exhaust side, it would damage the turbine blade and go on out the exhaust. Compressor side damage come from the filter or a cracked intake tube letting in unfiltered air.

 

Bill, I can't see anything going through that side of the turbo and locking up the engine. I guess it could happen, I would think that would have demolished your turbo completely. The Hydro locking sounds like a better possiblity. I wish I could help with that. I have read about others having that problem, just don't know how to fix it. Someone will know.

 

Thanks for your input zx250, I appreciate ya.

I'm at a loss hopefully someone will chime in, I had to drive the wifes car today

 

Step 1 needs to be fixing that turbo. you dont even want to start the engine and risk that wheel finishing coming apart.

As far as not truning over what is the battery voltage?

Not sure if you could hear the knock under the hood but an injector nozzle breaking off could cause hydrolock.

 

Took the batteries and had them tested as well as the altenator today. All 3 tested good.
I replaced the batteries anyway and still have the same problem.

It very well could be hydrolocked I'm just not sure how to fix that.

 

After the turbo is fixed remove the valve covers and glow plugs, then take a suction gun and suck through each glow plug hole. That will tell you which cylinder is hydrolocked.
