Thread: TD5 Wont fire

Thanks all for your input.
Having spent all day Saturday revising settings and purging the fuel system, having someone elses thoughts helped me confirm my course of action.

This morning had me checking all earth points and ECU, BCU etc settings.
I hot wired the fuel pump straight from a battery just to make sure I wasnt getting a voltage drop. It sounded better than from the truck wiring.
Did the start sequence and got a "fire" intermittently from a cyl.

So from this decided it wasnt ECU related and had to be somehow a fuel issue.
Unplugged all the lines and blew them out with compressed air (did this before fitting nearly 16 months ago) all good.
Pulled the fuel reg and found a small piece of plastic/crud.
Pulled the pump and checked all the terminals and filters were clean.
Plugged all back in again. This time the pump sounded a whole lot better and the thing kicked into life almost immediately.

One happy camper here, as this is the first time the Defer has moved under its own power since the project began!

Good one ... Always a happy moment when they fire up
