HDI starting issue.

[puglove]

Right guys my old estate is having issues.

It was cutting out when you put your foot down. So my mate changed the lift pump. It was fine for a week or two. Then started to be a pain in the arse to start. Had to keep cranking it over untill it finaly started ( intermittently cold or warm) no it just wont start cranking over and over with no joy.

See that link in my sig? Yeah, that. :p


Call me if you are still short of ideas bud.

Nice one cheers alex. Think FPR maybe my next port of call. I know the MAF is pretty shot on that but that wouldnt course it not to start would it?

[Poodle]

Fpr would be a good place to start, and yeah the maf shouldn't affect starting.

Don't you have peugeot planet? That would make diagnosis a fair bit easier, have a look at the correction values on injectors and see how much rail pressure there is at cranking etc.

I havnt got PP mate. But iv ordered one of those android fault code readers. See if that helps track down the issue.

[Midnightclub]

It'll only display basic codes but should give you some idea, let me know if you want the torque app

[Poodle]

Oh for some reason I thought you did...

The code reader will at least it'll tell you if its not fuelling problems. If it is fuelling (p0230) then you'll want something a bit more capable ideally.

It was hunting ever so slightly when it did run so im pretty sure it is fuel. But if it does show a fuel code atleast i will know for sure im on the right track.

And yes please danny

[Midnightclub]

No worries, PM me an email address or text me etc..

Right turns out (i think) the starting issue is down to the fact has has mullered the battery keep trying to start it. It will fire straight up with a bump start. But i cleared the fault code (P0230) took it for a drive. Booted it and it cut out again and raised the code again.... so im going to go clean out the FPR today and go from there. :/


Also prob doesnt help he didnt have the return line clipped on the lift pump properly ...... LOL

[Poodle]

Hunting could well be down to knackered injectors, probably worth doing a leak-off test if cleaning the fpr doesn't do the job.

[puglove]

Done the FPR now. Starts better. Stopped hunting. Doesnt cut out every time you boot it . But now its thrown an EGR fault code. And it just cuts out randomly now seemingly more offten in the lower revs :S

[Poodle]

That's a bit random, really need live data to see what's happening when it cuts out.

[Toms306]

Whats the actual EGR fault? Tried unplugging it?

[puglove]

I think im abit out of my depth now as far is dw10 is concerned ..... XUD FTW lol..

[Toms306]

Seem to remeber you didn't have much luck with the XUD either.


HDis really aren't difficult tbh. It'll be something really simple I bet.
