Had my first slightly scary issue with my 1982 d24 240 today and it turned out to be an easy fix so I thought I'd make a post to help anyone else with similar issues.
While accelerating onto a major road my car just stalled out of nowhere. No sputtering, no strange noises just dead. Had to have my sister push me to a parking spot to try and solve the issue.
It was cranking without starting so I knew it was a fuel problem.
I could hear the in line pump priming and I have a clear carb filter leading up to that pump so I could see fuel moving through.
I disconnected the fuel return line while the car was "on" and got fuel all over the place, so I knew it was getting to the injection pump but just not through the injectors.
After looking at a few forums I thought it was the fuel shut off solenoid that was giving me issues so I started replacing that until I got bored and looked at more forums and found that
fuse 13 is glow plugs and fuel shut off solenoid even though it isn't labeled that way. I obviously didn't even check my glow plugs since the car pooped out while I was driving so I didn't even think to look at that fuse.
My car was only running for 3 days after a month of fixing vacuum issues so this totally gave me a heart attack, but super easy fix and I hope this helps someone else get their car back on the road
