A while back i had a mjor problem trying to bring the 110 td5 back to life. turned out my ecu was fried.
Last week I started the car and it stop after a running for 1 -2 secs.
I left the car on charge over night, waggled wires, checked earths ( earth between ecu & vattery didn't seem great. once ok still no further forward.), glow relay was rapidly clicking when cranking. filled the fuel (it was 1/4 full at the time.) Unplugged & reconnected ecu. We found a volt drop at ecu when cranking so we jump it from my mates 90 and away she went. Not exactly sure of the problem. Notice when jumping it the clicking of the relay stopped. I think the battery was low from trying to start it so many times.
Tonight same problem occured, it fired and stopped a second or 2 later. Only fault is MAF sensor ( new unit on order). I can see the rpm when cranking. Fuel pump is running, relays sound normal. Earth wire was replaced, where it connects to the chasis was wire brushed to bare metal + an extra heavy wire from engine to chassis.
I have left it on charge with ecu unplugged. I need to check the volts when cranking but my multimeter is past its best.
I have left it on charge with ecu discconected.
Has anybody suffered similar?
Oh and it can be a bitch to start in the morning if left facing up hill ok down hill. I since tighten up the air bleed valve connector which was replaced on the filter housing. I think the filter housing is in need of replacement.
Help needed otherwise I going to end up selling for a msaller landy that fits in the garage.
