Bravo 2.0 Diesel. When I start the car, it'll run for a second or so then stop. Turn it over again and it'll eventually fire up. It'll run fine till I stop and the same happens. Whether it's got or cold same situation. I've had CKP & CMP changed. New fuel filter. So I'm at a loss as to what to do next. It's only a recent thing. It seemed to happen after taking off and replacing the turbo vane actuator. But I don't see how that would affect it. Any help would be appreciated.
 
On the surface of it you would think basic running wouldn't be afftected by disturbing the turbo actuator, but anything that you have disturbed can affect the ECU as all the sensors are obviously linked can cause waves. It does sound like the fuel shut off solenoid might be playing up. I recommend Gendan.co.uk software. It will give you a lot of info, you only need to use it twice for it to pay for itself.

These things seem to have a mind of their own at times but its probably something simple.
