Hi new member here. Hello to all.
I have a 2001 Ducato with a 2.8JTD. When it runs it runs well and pulls strong. The injector light does light up from time to time: so what does that mean?
However, the real problem is that I now have a no start condition after parking it and not using it for about 2 weeks. Battery was strong.
First time this happaned was 2 days ago, after close to 5 minutes of cranking on and off it finally came to life, seemingly a bit flooded (puff's of unburnt diesel which then cleared up). 3/4 throttle seemed to help sputter it to life, although as it's drive by wire might have been all in my head.
Let it run once it ran, turned it off once warmish and tried to restart, was just a little less stubborn to start.
So, in went out just now and tried cranking, and cycling the ignition for fuel pressure. Won't start, not a hiccup.
I need to move using this van on Monday, hoping I can get the info I need to fix it. I'm a classic car mechanic, don't know these modern diesels finer workings though.
Where to look first? I can hear the pump priming, once it did start the other day it ran fine.
Is there an OBD port I can hook up a scan tool too?
cheers
