I am writing this while waiting for a breakdown truck
I was driving on a straight road with no issues. I then went round a round about and the disco would not accelerate out of it. With my foot flat to the floor I managed to get it to about 50 but it then started to slow. I found the nearest turning where I could safely stop but by that time the disco was slowing even with my foot to the floor. As soon as I came to a stop the engine died.
To cut a long story short...
The engine did not over heat.
The aa did not find any fault codes
It has a new injector loom
There is no oil in the ecu
It feels like 2 injectors are not working
The engine will start but is very very lumpy
I have tried the fuel purge and injector purge
The maifold temps on cylinders 1 and 2 are half that of 3, 4 and 5
About a week ago I could smell diesel as I walked past the disco.
From extensive research while board waiting for recovery it appears tatch the symptoms of a faulty fuel pump?
It's done 125,000 which I am lead to believe is about right for a pump failure?
Any other surgestion for me to try when I get home
Many thanks
