Thread: TD5 fuel purge... how long?

Good luck.

Often aftermarket copper washers are not actually copper, but just steel with a copper coating. A magnet is your friend here.

Ok, car still a non starter. Bohica was kind enough to bring his NANOCOM. Injector test good. Fault codes Manifold low pressure, transmission missing, which was expected. There is fuel coming rapidly from the cooler when undone. Changed the FPR to try it. Couldn’t measure across fuse 21, multimeter too primitive. But it sure seemed like the pump was pushing some flow. So, I’m left with the pump not having enough pressure for the injectors or it’s the harness but the NANOCOM suggests otherwise.
I dunno.

According to the tech manual. The next step is to remove the exhaust. But why?

To eliminate a blocked or collapsed muffler. It happens more often than you think.

Makes sense. In this case not appropriate, but thanks, Ian. I have, of course, seen this before, from a crushed pipe on a Leyland Scammel to a wasp's nest in a brushcutter, but I truly could not focus on that side of things today. The exhaust was pulsing at the tailpipe. Clearly not blocked.

So was mine, but wouldn't start til the exhaust was cut off. Ask Blknight about it.

Thx. Dave is talking to me back channel almost as we speak.

Great forum, this.

Easy to not see the forest for the trees I guess. There is, of course, a small item known as the Crank Position Sensor..... On our backs, in the deepening dark, fitting an auto and we achieved this:151708158_868022823990449_5747711532917396522_n.jpg
No wonder the damn thing won't start.... Grrr. Is my face red or what?
Still, shouldn't be too hard to fix..
