Cold running problem, diesel...

[ewenmaclean]

Hello,

I don't know your engine that well but some have a relay which runs the aux pump with ignition off when still hot to dissipate heat around the block and cylinder head. It's possible this relay you're referring to is to run the aux pump. Good luck with the timing - if it's running then I would just be doing it by ear - but then I'm a bodger. As v-lux says - many choose to run slightly advanced so getting exact to the specs isn't completely necessary.
