Thanks for this.
I'll clean up the red plug & ECU, and take it from there.
Where do the wires on the black plug normally chaff???
How much oil have you got in the plug?
I clean mine with brake cleaner without opening it up.
Ok...............
So, I have been at both male and female sides of the red plug with brake cleaner, and then had a go for about 5 minutes with the hairdryer.
Put it all back together and no difference. The Landy still stuttering when being driven.
I have now taken the ECU out of the truck, and have it upside down on a piece of kitchen roll to see if anything drains out.
I have also taken the torx security bolts out to release the lid of the ECU to see if there is any contamination inside. Although the bolts are out, the lid is very firmly stuck.
Do they use some kind of silicone or sealant before they put the bolts in??
Thanks Johnlad.you need to change the injector loom to rule it out
Yes the ECU cover is sealed with silicone sealant. CAREFULLY ease the cover off otherwise you will bend it. I used a non setting hylomar sealant to keep things waterproof when I put mine back together after Gary at TD5Alive did his magic. You can use anything you like - even a bathroom sealant will do the trick.Ok...............
