Hi

R reg 2.0ltr Ulysse which we have owned for more than 5 years

A fantastic car which I did not want to take to the scrap

A couple of times the car would crank and not start as if it was out of fuel,always first thing in the morning, each time we put a gallon in and it then started,we assumed that the pump and or filter would need looking at.

On a journey the car faded as if it had a fuel issue but then picked up and was no more problem

Last week the car would not start after driving into the town after an hour it started, had a bit of smoke as if it was choked died and since then it will not start.

A guy came round with a diagnostic code reader and said that he could not get a connection from the reader to the ECU therefore the problem was with the ECU

Would you think his diagnosis is correct?

Are there any other checks I can do?

When running the engine is fantastic.

Thanks in advance for your help I would like to solve this problem

Hi

Thanks for your help I will get these checked tomorrow and get back to you,

I live near Bury St Edmunds so a fair distance

Could you give me a guide as to where the immob light is on the dash

and where is the temp sensor situated.

When turning the ignition on what noise should the pump make?

Really grateful for this, it is such a good vehicle and the engine ran like a dream before this.

Thanks Dennis

you'll hear it whirr..like a screen wash pump;)
