That type of arm chair diagnostics makes me cringe. Especially when it's someone else's dollars.Quote:
I assume the mechanic checked the pressure as he plugged the car into his "Test Book" tablet
It may have had low or no fuel pressure but it didn't check the relay, wiring, ground and fuse to the pump.
Or an oily poor connection at the PCM to ground the relay.
Let's just hope he did more that you didn't see and I'm just getting on my soap box for nothing.
But it is looking odd.

Regrettably the Td5 engine does not feature a fuel pressure sensor... wish it did!Quote:

So it seems the pump failed along with the boost modulator valve (strange coincidence) or the shorted pump damaged it. I now know the symtoms and how to replace both so I guess I got something for the money (I have to look at it that way or else the hole in my bank account hurts too much).
Thanks for all the tips, I know with a discovery it wont be long before I'm looking for the next fix.
Cheers.

Mmmmm... You know what I think.
Anyway good to hear it's fixed. :)
Good point! Just as well I only sell parts and I'm not a mechanic! :pQuote:
