Cheers mate, yep new injector loom and no oil at ecuI expect you have covered it but haven't mentioned above, the injector loom/ecu oil thing

Hello I’m new on here I am also having the same issue had the engine rebuilt after it melted number 1 piston due to over fuelling it’s he new injectors and Loom just put a engine harness on it and still the same missfire and white smoke and bad to start I’ve tried a different Ecu no different I’m out of ideas nowI have a pain in the butt recent problem, intermittent hunting or lumpy Idle.
Original fault was poor starting, so :
New injector seals ( discovered injector roller mis-aligned and scoring cam so fitted new cam and injector rockers)
New Glow plugs
New MAF MAP and ATS
EGR deleted 2 years ago
Now starts perfectly (half a turn), but appears to have developed this annoying & intermittent fault.
So I cured the starting problem, but trying seems I now have another problem!
To diagnose this fault I found a serious imbalance on two injectors, so replaced them as well.
The clutch spigot bearing does make a noise for around 60 seconds when first driving, but it has always done this.
Crank Position sensor?
DMF on the way out?
Clutch switch?

was that a new harness?Hello I’m new on here I am also having the same issue had the engine rebuilt after it melted number 1 piston due to over fuelling it’s he new injectors and Loom just put a engine harness on it and still the same missfire and white smoke and bad to start I’ve tried a different Ecu no different I’m out of ideas now
nr cuxton / snodlandhi mate
how u getting on with the wiring
mean to ask, where abouts in kent are u plse
, not much further i am afraid.hi mate

can you shar emore about history and what you have done so far, symptoms etcHello I’m new on here I am also having the same issue had the engine rebuilt after it melted number 1 piston due to over fuelling it’s he new injectors and Loom just put a engine harness on it and still the same missfire and white smoke and bad to start I’ve tried a different Ecu no different I’m out of ideas now

hd a fiddle about with harness behind block and under air box.
Problem goes away if i remove the ATS SENSOR on the air box, as then ECU goes to default setting for atmospheric pressure.
So tested that, still had a little cough so had a good fiddle with harness behind block problem has gone for a while, but it will be back, so who knows maybe a wiring short somewhere etc.
i WILL get to he bottom of it but its too cold at the moment!
ecu is untouched, its not original but is from a 02 (mine is 03), has been running fine for 5 years no probs,blimey mate , know it can be frustrating
may i ask a daft question plse, was the ecu brand new, if not , would u happen to know if a remap has been added or did u program it urself
with the aid of a td5 wiring diagram , as it shows in them what colour wire goes to what pin of the ecu are u able to match it up , or have u still got stray wires
but as the engine is running i assume the wiring is all done
is the latest basically the engine is running rough
have u already done the test to see what ur fuel pump pressure is
tried running it with the fuel cap off
see ur not that far from me
thks
cheers mate, not noticed that, but am changing the temp sensor anyway as have read it can cause probs,Does your temp gauge ever drop to the resting position when your lumpy idle occurs? I had an odd idle a few years ago pulled my hair out for a bit then changed the coolant temp sensor and problem sorted. Just an idea it helped me out at the time
ecu is untouched, its not original but is from a 02 (mine is 03), has been running fine for 5 years no probs,
new fuel pump, fuel pressure is fine.
The crank sensor SRC ( signal return cable??) is bared as i said but other than that nothing obvious.
The loom from the ATS and MAF are notorious as are the one that crosses gearbox for chaffing so thats what I am lokking at next, i have given it a wiggle and its settled down again, but fault is intermittent so i want to create / cure and be sure thats the prob etc.
Why fuel cap off? can tank pressurise?
no lumpy idle / misfire is intermittent
so i need it in fault to diagnose etc
just too cold to sod about with it at mo!
wish i had a diagnositc!! no nanocom here etc.ah, i see apologises and see what u mean ref the diagnostics
are u able to set ur diagnostic to record live data and the wiggle the possible faulty looms
plse don’t throw a hammer at me, lol
