Thanks I had the head off about 20000klm ago and did the seals and washers then, have done continuity check on engine bay wiring, Its going to be a tricky one I think, cheers

A continuity check has very limited use. It will identify a circuit that won't work but won't identify one that will.
The circuit really needs to be loaded while you look for a voltage drop.

Not advising against doing the check but to be aware of it's limitations.



Also as a side note, as I'm not sure if it applies to the TD5 (someone may correct this), many engine management systems don't always log a code for a CA sensor failure. Thats partially to do with the fact the PCM doesn't see a signal from the sensor so it assumes the engine has stopped rotating - therefore no need to log a code.

I have had similar symptoms in my 03 130, turned out to be the crank angle sensor was knackered.
Cost about $500 to fix for a 2 finger size part.

Also just recently bad fuel had introduced black snot into the fuel pump and was chocking it, but you'll hear a loud wining sound if that was the case.

It sounds like the injector harness is full of oil. You cleaned the connections then refitted and it started, is a clue to the diagnoses.

After climbing a hill and having the engie stop I would still suspect injector washers. Is the pump noisy iE sound like it needs priming when you go to start it again?

Yeh But the wiring very clean its not an oily mess like my discovery was, just hit it with some contact cleaner cause I had it apart, It dose seem to be where the problem is because the 2 times it played up unplugging and replugging the injector wire harness made it start, Ive been going up that hill every day this week heading home so far so good, thanks for the input wish it would stop for good then I would know when its fixed, cheers

The fuel pump was running quite as normal and when I loosened the filter drain beside the road it sprayed out with heaps of pressure, cheers
