Hello to all....Here goes...Landy Defender TD5 90 1999MY
Drove to work the other night (i do nightshift at the docks), parked up and no probs....came out of work at 06:00
(was light rain all night) key to position 2 and....no fuel pump noise...i thought er...that aint normal !! Cranked the engine....she wouldn't fire. Left her there and went back later in the afternoon. Tried the safety cut out (OK), 3/4 tank of Diesel (OK), Battery 12.4V (OK), gave the tank a bash....no differant so gave up and asked my mate to tow me home (that was fun!!). Today ive checked the main relay under the seat (OK), Pulled the plug off the Fuel pump and checked 0v (Dead), checked the fuse under the seat for fuel pump (OK), pulled the green relay out from the Gearshifter fuse box and shorted the contacts...the fuel pump starts up and starts to pressurize the system (tried starting the engine, turns over but will not fire), Checked with a volt meter behind the green realy and i get 12v across the coil to earth (coil is not getting an earth from the ECU to close). Pulled off the red & black plug from the ECU and the RED plug was oily....thought YES this is the issue.......Cleaned both plugs with Elec Cleaner and blew them out with an air line (and the ECU sockets), also took the lid off the ECU and its all clean in there. Put it all back...tried the engine...cranks but will not fire!!! Still no earth for the fuel pump relay to close. Tried a spare key & fob....no differant. I also notice that normally on key position 2 from cold...the ful pump starts (prime the pressure) & the glow plug lampo illuminates till ready and then goes out but......I'm not getting the fuel pump starting OR the glow plug lamp displaying??????? I'm convinced something that effects all the start up procedure is missing, no doubt just 1 thing that provides the ECU with the "OK to start" and gives the earth for the relays to close!!!! I'm out there again tomorrow as i need the Landy for work...as you can guess i'm running out of ideas !!!
Anyone had similar or can give me a few pointers? Thanks TS
