Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Ok, so i had a fuel problem and changed the injector pump and removed the immobiliser. problem sorted it ran fine for about 6-8 hours. then i noticed when i put my foot down, there was no response for a few seconds. It was parked up over night. And wouldnt start in the morning. I turned the key and manually primed the system and it fired up, but would not go above 3000 revs for a wee while. when i let my foot off the accelerator, the revs dipped below 500 and the engine stalled. since then i cannot start it up the engine rotates, bt doesnt fire Looking at the injectors, the 2nd one from left didnt "spit" when loosened. Havent a clue, except from another injector pump, but i would have thought it would start with only 3 cylinders? Anybody got any suggestions (will sell the car for spares & repairs ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oggy808 24 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 sounds like fuel starvation or air starvation try filters a.t.b. oggy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thomps125 49 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 sounds like fuel starvation or air starvation try filters a.t.b. oggy is it phase 1 or 2 if its fase 1 make sure its not got air in the fuel...u open the bleed niple n keep windeing over till fuel spurts out constent..... if not make sure the earth wire 2 the batrey is a gud solid conection as my phase 1 wud not start when the engine was hot and all it was is the earth conectionj on the batrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try bleeding it like you said. When you say bleed nipple, do you mean the 17mm nut on the injector? cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stabba 10,745 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 there should be a bleed nipple/screw on the diesel filter housing. try that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeTheDog 153 Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I know this might seem a daft question but!....Is there enough fuel in the tank? Sometimes on old motors when the pumps/filters have been changed there can be a problem as you described. The pump may be too weak to put enough pressure through a system that has been drained. Tow it round to the fuel station and squirt twenty quids worth of sniff in the tank and then give it a tug round the houses. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thomps125 49 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 no the little screw on the filter itself it would hep if you said if you had phase one or 2 as there difrent and then the hdi engine is difrent aswell i no the fuel pumps on the petrols in the peugeouts always blow my m8s always duz if his sterio shorts out...dont think the diesels are the same thoe as its got its own lift pump is there fuel getin into the filter when u pump it or not Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anybody got any suggestions (will sell the car for spares & repairs ) Sounds like its pulling air in from somewhere check all fuel lines from tank through filters lift pump injector pump and injector tighten all bleed valves, nipples and banjo unions Is the tank vented?? I once fitted a new fuel cap on a diesel when I serviced it and bled the fuel system and it was a sod to start and would run rough for a short while the cut out turned out the cap wasnt vented fitted anothe new cap and away it went ran sweet as a nut Why did you remove the imobiliser?? what year is the motor?

RossM 8,149 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 try priming the filter or opening the pipe on injector number 4, and crank till only fuel coming through no air. then tighten pipe on injector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll fill a 5gal drum up & try that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
