So the saga continues...
Last night was not good - had a blow out of the rear offside but luckily was by the services exit so managed to limp into the car park and change the tyre.
40 minutes later, on the motorway at 50 -> sudden loss of power. No smoke, just lost power and cut out.
So, things I’ve checked;
- no oil in coolant
- no coolant in the oil
- head temp start the time was 87-90 with direct IR measurement
- engine will crank but not fire
- sounds normal to crank
- cranked by with rocker cover off shows all moving
- push rods not bent, rocker arms intact
- solenoid clicks with power
- cranking gets diesel to the injectors
I’ve not taken the head off again and haven’t taken the injectors out.
Other details;
- just been filled from about 1/3 to full with diesel around 60 miles before
- running really well, no smoke
- run on motorway about 30 miles 45-50mph
I thought it’d be solenoid/lift pump issue but seem to be able to get fuel to the injectors.
Thoughts?
