98 XUD TD will not start - macca3535
My 306 TD with lucas pump will not start, it cranks fine.

Tested glow plugs, all ok.

Tested feeds and earth to 3 pin connector for fuel stop solenoid, i have 2 x 12v and earth with ignition on. Are these readings correct?

undone 17mm unions on injectors and cranked over, no fuel coming out.

Removed pump and fuel stop solenoid. Connected up solenoid and put ignition on, it does not move.

Replaced solenoid (came with second hand pump) but still will not start.
Battery had gone flat before put new pump on, so recharged, will this cause any problems?

Have heard so many contrasting stories saying that you cannot use a second hand solenoid as once plugged into a car it will only work on that car and no other, is this true?

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

No year or engine code; but going on what you're saying, that's right - RIM modules are one shot use.

Take the pin out of the solenoid and try it to prove the point. [You'll have to stall it, or loosen the feed line, to stop it.
