Relax, this is the worst case answer. But to address your question, usually due to long-term poor injector spray pattern. > How do I do a compression test on this engine? Remove the injectors and screw in a diesel compression tester and crank, similar to how you would screw the tester into the spark plug holes in a gas engine. If you don't own a diesel compression tester, you may as well have a shop do it as the diesel testers are $$$ for a decent one. > I'm not sure it will idle but I guess the one that doesn't make it stop is the > one. If your engine won't idle, it sounds to me like you have a general fuel system problem, not just one bad injector. Does the engine run as though it has a dead cylinder at all rpm ranges, and under load, or just while idling? Have the injectors ever been tested/cleaned and/or rebuilt? Did this come on gradually or suddenly (for example, after a fillup)? Mac Aylmer, Quebec '60 220s / '82 240d (x2!!) / .5 of an '83 300sd '75 Volvo 164e
