97 diesel Transit not switching off with the key

[unclebrendo]

Morning.

I've got a 97 diesel transit and for a while I noticed that it took a second to die after turning the key off. Then 2 seconds, then 5. Now it continues to run with the key off and out. Sometimes it does eventually but I got an engine warning light after starting up again so I stall it now before turning the key of and I've never had the problem since.

Any hints?

Cheers

Turbo engine


Electronic Switch Off Solenoid (ESOS) in pump is faulty Lots of stuff on here about it, including a "how to" on changing it, if you try a search around

Thanks, I'll go digging.

Inside of pump brakeing up small bits jamming the stop open

Or the stop has become tired and just needs changing.

Most of time when they go weak they will not start

That would refer to mechanical non turbo pump, not Electronic Epic turbo pump

As already said, the seals on the Esos stop solenoid need replaced

[dumper]

True but what pump has he got

True but what pump has he got

Based on his symptoms and the fact he has an engine light it must be electronic epic

Yep but it's going to have to come out to check for debris anyway.

Missed the light bit need to go to specsavers

Epics don't get issues with debris... the seal on tge end of the plunger will have failed letting diesel pass through.

If its a manual stall it as you turn it off until you get round to changing the plunger

[unclebrendo]

Cheers guys. It's the epic pump. I'll tidy the esos up and report back.

Some fuel gas been leaking out the side of the pump which I think might be related but we'll see.

Cheers

Does anyone know where I can get a kit for this in Australia? In a bit of a hurry if possible.
