td5 heater problems

Splasher said:

Gave mine 6 purges, and towed it for 2 miles and still nothing.
I,m thinking that the ecu may need resetting as i did not disconnect the fuel lines or the battery...
If all else fails i,ll sell/break it for spares..

I take it that you can hear the fuel pump running?

Did you press and hold the accelerator to the floor while cranking to purge the injectors too?

Check you haven't tripped the inertia switch in the engine bay while you were working on it.

the only other thing that I can think of is that your injector washers haven't sealed properly.

Would you happen to know the torque settings for the injector clamp bolts??
And yes the pump is working fine.
Thanks.

Thanks for all your advise.:deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse::deadhorse:

ratty said:

when it's running, is your fuel pump gurgling like it has air in it or has it quietened down?

You could try a quick squirt of easy start or carb cleaner down the air intake to see if that helps. Don't go chucking loads in though.

Splasher said:

Fuel pump sounds the same as it did before i did seals. And i tried the easy start route too.. With the same result..
Had several experts look at it and we are all stumped...
When and if i find the problem i,ll let you know..
At the moment i do not know what to do

ratty said:

Have you had it on a diagnostic computer at all?

Did you clean the crud out the injector bores before you re-fitted the injectors?

Get it into a garage and get them to screw a fuel pressure gauge onto the fuep pressure regulator.

Splasher said:

Getting it plugged in to pc on Tuesday.. And we did clean out the injector bores before refitment.
Thanks again for all advise and will keep you posted.
What i,m tempted to do is sell it for spares or repairs and move on...Must be worth around £1500.:smash::smash::smash:

ratty said:

Before you sell it and then kick yourself for doing it... At least stick it on a diagnostic computer again.

Splasher said:

Its on diagnostic pc this afternoon. But at the end of the day i,ve lost faith in this vehicle so i think i,ll let it go cheap and someone else can benefit from it.
Thanks M8.:scratching_chin::scratching_chin::scratching_chin:

Splasher said:

Splasher said:

Right,
Its been on the diagnostic pc and loads of codes came up..
The numbers off of the injectors have been re-entered and the ecu reset and still it will not start...Probably needs dragging but i cannot be assed...

Take a photo of or jot down the codes and post em up on here. They could help give the game away.
