So since just before the snow hit, my Landy has been a right mardy cow. A few times its cut out on my while driving along, but started up again right away, then last week it upped the game.
I drove it all the way home from work, switched off the engine, went in for a brew and then went back out, started it and it cut out instantly. Basically I turned the key, and it fires up on the starter motor, but as soon as I let go of the key it dies again.
This problem has happened ever since. Oddly though, it starts up and runs fine if I leave it over night, but if I switch off and restart it fails again.
My thought is that its a fuel feed issue. I've checked as much of the system as I can in the snow and dark. The feed in pipe for the lift pump had a few drops of diesel on it so I tightened that, and the filter had some air in it, but again I've sorted that now. The injectors seem fine, and I can't see anything wrong with the pump (no obvious leaks or anything) all else seems fine!
I had recently refueled before it wouldn't start up, but the random cut outs were prior to that.
Any thoughts? (other than "yer fecked"
)
