Thread: Yet another non start post, seeking help in Geelong

Just to add to this, every fix, especially related to fuel, I've primed the system 10-15 times. There's no air in there

Thanks RRT this is a brand new account so I can't respond to your PM but I'll take you up on that if no one closer helps out

If you fuel pump is super whiny, it could be the pump. Are you getting a strong fuel flow?

I've already replaced the fuel pump, and uncoupling the line at the FPR ****es diesel everywhere

Is the MIL on? If so then my go to would be the CPS or it's wiring. Even if it isn't I'd still check. Even if it's a little loose it can cause a non start. How did you check it?

I'm tipping with 7K on the engine the injector harness is ok.

Can't help with the nano, I'm a little too far away.

Since the bottom and top end rebuild last year, I've had zero issues, leaking a little power steering fluid and oil, but that's always to be expected. At least it's not drinking water.

On Tuesday I went to start it up to crank, fired for a second but no start. Tried priming 5+ times still nothing. Started my diagnosis mode and immediately went to the CPS as I didn't replace it and believed it was overdue. No go. Checked the immobiliser, the inertia switch and the wiring loom, as well as oil in the ECU loom. Pulled the rocker cover, injector loom is fine. I did new injector seals myself last year with rebuild. Sounded like a fuel problem (as my fuel pump was super whiny and voltage through 30a fuse was 18.3).
replaced the pump on Saturday, no fix, but oh well it probably needed doing. Checked the non return valve, poked a hole through it, no start.

Yesterday I changed the fuel filter and the non return valve, primed and still no start. I've tried moving the car through gears as part of my suspected it's the XYZ stopping start. So I've got the car on trickle charge, and will probably pull it and repair to fix the m&s gremlins, but I feel I'm running out of things it could be.

If it's cranking and the red light on the dash is on then it's immobiliser related.

If it's cranking, there's no engine light on and the tacho needle is moving, it's not the CPS.

If the new pump is still cavitating, even a little, you might need to do the injector washers again ( using OEM or genuine and clean the carbon off thoroughly, especially the head faces ).

If it's not cavitating, then look at things like the cam timing being out due to loose cam sprocket bolts as I've seen that one after a "rebuild" before.

Also, it'd be great if you could let us know what it was as most of the time after myself and others post, people that join the forum in order to fix a problem don't get back with the answer. (Not saying you wouldn't, only that most don't)

P.S. If the D2 is a keeper, get a Nanocom

cheers

No Mil light on, and I replaced the CPS as well as inspected the break points in the sheath of the wiring, there's no visible copper or fray in the wire.
