I've done quite a bit of reading on this and searching and can't find anyone with the same symptoms as me! My HDI won't start. When I turn the key and try to start it it tries its best to start, turns over and over, almost catching, but not. Should also add the fault has been intermittent over the weekend up until last night when it won't go.
What I've found so far;
I don't have access to a code scanner so I know I should do that next, but if the ECU isn't speaking surely it won't read anything anyways?
What should my next move be, aside from reading codes, what should I look at?
What I've found so far;
- Turning the key makes the in tank pump buzz away, so the fuel system is priming
- Fault is intermittent and weather/temperature of engine/full moon doesn't make a difference
- Battery is ok, holding 13 volts after being charged, hitting 14.3v when running last
- Checked the fuse (9) under the dash, 20 amp for injection control unit, seems ok
- Checked fuses in the engine bay, all seem ok
- Fuel appears to be getting through the system, if i pump the throttle prior to trying to start, it'll try and bite, nearly even go for a split second
- Connections etc all seem good, but as fault is intermittent im leaning towards this.
- The bit that confuses me - when ignition comes on there is no engine management light so assuming ECU isn't talking to injectors.
