Thread: TD5 just stops running

I didn't think to ask before.
Did your dash light up everything when the engine stopped.

If so you could just have a crook earth and the voltage dropped under the 11.4 that the ECU considers the minimum it will get out of bed for.

Yeah makes a lot of difference, however still could be any of the suggestions made and/or electrical failure, oil in loom. Likely fuel pump though if like that.
Not nice at 100kmph.

Just a thought. Trog did a trip to the west, had a similar problem, was told it was the pump. Replaced 2 pumps [ I think], came back to Brisbane, found out it was , I believe, the air bleed valve, located in the bleed line connection on the fuel filter. If you have a RAVE DVD, you will be able to see what that is. Basically, there is a restrictor & a membrane, the restrictor has a hole in the centre, to allow air & fuel to pass thru. When the membrane gets wet, it expands, & the fuel doesn't pass thru, that is normal operation. Before you spend big bickies on a pump, check bleed valve. Bob
