encounters of the 3rd kind??

Postby Mac1984 » Tue Feb 27, 2018 11:23 pm

Guys,

i am not understanding this:

Bosch pump swapped, bleeding, started and running nicely..

6 hours later, starts on the tick of the Starter Motor, still running very good...

24 hours later.... not starting at all...

spend half the night bleeding the pump again, cranking, bleeding, cranking...

Diesel coming out the Fuel Pump bleed, diesel coming out the cracked injectors... but not coming to live...

During the countless attempts ive noticed something that seemed very odd to me:

The Red Light in the ceiling was flashing wildly after ive cranked the engine in great desperation... :?: :?: the epic is dead, how can that be? the Bosch is connected only with shutoff solenoid, but was running perfect yesterday???

ive noticed this only once, maybe it happended several times i dont know, but since then ive checked the light and is always
flashing normally since then, but still no difference...

It is getting to weird for me at this stage... im hoping for somebody with a miracle idea now...

thansk for any help to get me back on the road--- original plan was monday, maybe i get there next monday :cry: :cry: :cry:

Apologies, I've treated this as a potentially different Problem

Oh sorry...

my immobilizer went bonkers the same time as i was struggling with the injection pump.

bypassed the immobilizer, so that nuisance is out of the way....thanks to the help of people here...


cheers

So the newly fitted Bosch pump still had the immobiliser module fitted to the back of it :?: :?

Nope :roll:

hence the title... i dont fully understand this problem, and why suddenly it kicked in.

basically when the light started flashing, the 12V live from the epic loom got killed.. so the solenoid went dead.

made a new wire to bypass the epic wireloom and seemingly the immobiliser, no more dead connection. my first problem still exists though :shock:


wether this is the original wireloom or if the former owner tempered with it, i dont know...
