Hey guys,

Still a newbie, playing mechanic, two months after I bought it.

My defender 200Tdi 110, 1985 needed a new fuel injection pump.

This is what I did:
- Bought a new one
- Replaced the fuel injection pump
- Replaced the timing belt and all other belts.
- Made sure that the timing pin and engine timing matches.
- Two revolutions of the crankshaft was one rev for camshaft and the fuel injector pump and the alignment was good.
- Replaced all the gaskets and torqued the bolts as required.
- Reconnected all the radiator hoses
- Primed the fuel lines from the fuel injector pump to the engine, it had a good flow of fuel.
- Connected all the 12v lines to the engine and pumps.
- Charged my battery

My problem:
- When i turn the key it cranks the engine but it will not start.
- I have one little electrical plug that might the culprit but I have no idea where it goes. It's in the picture. The plug is spliced, I think, off the water pump power, Where can it go?
- Also it seems like my radiator hoses are under more pressure, since I reinstalled them I filled the radiator with 2 gallons of antifreeze and tightened the clamps but they all seem to drip a little.

Thanks for your time

Thanks for the response, I already have a plug connected to it, and if the ignition is on and I pull it in and out i can hear the solenoid click
