Technical ducato 2.0 jtd engine stopped

[capnlegs]

hi looking for a word of advice, my van has broke down. the engine just stopped going. it turns over and sounds like it wants to fire but isnt. would i be right to check fuel flow ie if it comes through glow plugs etc and that pump is working. where would i find the fuel filter? need to check its not blocked. also would it be worth checking cam/crank sensors. i think th ecu unit is in engine bay on right hand side, cant see access point for diagnostics to plug in, am i looking in rite place?

would be gratefull for some advice as im scratchng my head
it was as though fuel had been turned of when it broke down just started slowing down and wouldnt respond to throttle then when it stopped on hard shoulder i couldnt restart. no lights on dash light up or anything and the heat needle was in regular position whne it happened.

its a ducato 11 maxi swb 2.0 litre 2003 model

thanks for your help

Hi Chris,

Not sure if I can assist, but location of fuel filter (if same as Boxer 2.0) is behind air filter on passinger side of engine bay and diagnostic socket is below steering wheel inside cabin.

Sorry I can't assist with problems, best of luck.
Regards
Stewart

have had similar. catalytic converter collasped, caused it to die, then run, then die. also on another occasion an injector went wrong, causing engine management light to come on, and glide to a halt with no throttle. start off again, same thing happened. hope this helps

thanks for ur input guys have now located ecu socket, and had it checked. it brought up crank senser as the fault. i have changed the senser but it still wont start we reset the ecu also. i am going to check wiring to see if wire to senser is broken sumewhere also need to check the fuse. i dont know which fuse it is, i looked in my owners manual but still not sure which fuse to check. anyone know which one it is? would putting a volt meter in socket to senser tell me if its recieving sufficient current, wot is the correct current for the sensor?
i have checked fuel supply and seems fine ruling out pump etc. how do i go about checking injectors?

thanks again chaps for ur input

i have put in a new crank sensor and still getting it showing on ecu test that its not working, i have put voltmeter in sensor socket to check for reading. i find there to be no power going to sensor, i have checked fuses and cant find a broken one which fuse is used for the sensor ? does the sensor recieve power or only when engine is running does it send a signal to ecu im a little confused lol. cant see a break in the wiring so not sure wot to do anyadvice would be gr8 really need to get me van going im starting to lose money cos of it

thanks chap

The jtd engines need to build 300psi at 200rpm or they won't start. So if they're cranking too slow or theres any leakage in the injection system they won't start.
Can you read the rom on the diagnostic you have, you can check the voltage on the rail pressure sensor but I'm not sure what the value should be I'll see if its in my manual. If theres another van handy you can measure the voltagte on the rail pressure sensor on that.
