rac transit

[maxrs16]

hello looking for a bit of help i have a ex rac rwd transit 330 i think and a 90 and it decided to die. i was driving it all day fine then started it to go home it ran for a min or two then cut out before it cut out i heard a few clicks from the relays behind/above the glovebox then it died it now just turns over but not a sign of starting.
aa came out and said he thought it was the diesel pump. i thought it strange as before then had no problem what so ever no loss of power or smoke so seems more electrical to me as i would think a mechanical fault would be more gradual rather than instant. when i got recovered home i put it on the computer and got codes p1564 and p1664.
is this likely to be pump or is there anything else to try first

many thanks

Max

I'd check the chain first iv just done an ex rac one the guide was that worn it broke dropping onto the pump and knocked the timing out aa said it was pump

Ok will do but would that cause low fuel pressure. When the injector pipes were opened there was fuel coming out but not at any great pressure also the filter was full. And as stated previously I heard a fair bit of clicking from the relays behind the glove box

probably the electronic unit on the top of the pump has died

They can fail without warning mine went on the m8. Driving perfect, then just cut out!

Check the wiring to the pump first before condemning it, it can get damaged by rubbing against things.

checked the chain thats still in one piece checked the wiring no rub throughs or nothing got the powerprobe on the plug its getting its power and earths. started the dismantle and the crank sensor decided to snap off rather than come out.
will have another go tomorrow i just blasted it in penetrating fluid and un done all the turbo manifold bolts ready to gain a bit more acces.
was going to make sure the timing was ok before i send the pump off

What are you trying to gain acess to taking off turbo manifold....if you replace any part of the timing chain components use new bolts as they are strech bolts and are liable to snap after a while if reused

[maxrs16]

With the turbo manifold off I can get at the crank sensor more easily

also if i have to take the box off for the crank sensor is there a way of setting them up as ive seen the bracket can slide about for adjustment
