IGNORE double entry 105JTD weekend not (quite) starting
Hi All.
Yes, I know its time to get the ECU read but thats going to mean a home visit and admission of failure
...........
Bought the car last month and drove it nicely for the 90mile trip back home, laid it up (was going to get rid of the Tipo TD first), it wont start now.
I also have a windscreen leak which saturated behind the dashboard but ECU, relays etc all seem ok. Theyve spent the week in th eairing cupboard just to make sure.
Fuel pump delivering diesel, injector diesel returning to tank, CODE light off, Management light normally off after 4secs until cranking, but sometimes on before cranking, always on after cranking (maybe 1 or 2 seconds lapse before it comes on when cranking. Glowplugs seem ok as well.
Firing:- all I get on first cranking is a single, or very maybe 2 cylinders, firng just once, no more. After that - nothing. Repeat the exercise immediately and no firing at all, repeat it after a few seconds interval and once again get the single cylinder fire and then nothing again.
Any clues?.:bang: All I can think of is the crankshaft sensor or the camshaft sensor. Would one of these give this symptom if they have failed/nearly failed?.
