Van cutting out after 5 seonds once started.

Postby Rab1988 » Sat May 18, 2013 1:40 pm

Hi all, Was wondering if someone can help out. Replaced the clutch yesterday in my 54 plate Transit with a 2.4 Duratec engine. After this had been completed the engine will not run continually. It starts up and cuts out after 5 seconds and the glow plug light flashes once it cuts off. The engine will restart as many times as required but will not run longer than the 5 seconds. During the work the battery was disconnected. Never had any issues with van cutting out before this.

Any advice/help would be much appreciated, Robert.

The crank sensor is either broken, unplugged, or connected to the speedo wiring by mistake
