2.5td lucas pump. Suddeny stalling and cutting out

Postby D33 » Sun Feb 11, 2018 6:50 pm

Hi all, my friend come to my van today, not used it for the last month but was started last weekend with no issues, battery was flat so my friend tried to bump start it. It started then cut out instantly. He connected jump leads and it kept doing the same thing.
Iv come home and Now it will start and tick over but when you go to drive it stalls. It starts straight up and stalls again. The eml comes on when its about to cut out. Its impossible to drive it. It will tickover with no eml.
It might not be related but the rev counter seems to react slow and iv never noticed it before today.
Just wondered if this is how the super EPIC pumps fail? Or an immobiliser issue.
Thanks!

Sounds like you have a diesel supply issue to me...

I fit a new fuel filter about a year and a half ago. Iv probably done about 1000 miles since. Do you reckon the filter could have moisture in causing this? If not what are the symptoms for the lift pump failing, same as i have?
Thanks!

try a new filter it won't hurt. new lift pump won't hurt either. could also be a minor air ingress at a fuel pipe joint too

Just realised i never replied to this! A few weeks after it kept going into limp mode and randomly cutting out, sometimes started sometimes didnt. Left it overnight, drove home from racing and never had a problem again!
A few weeks later i found the fuel return pipe was broken and there was a hole in the supply pipe, maybe this caused the problem. Over a year on and no issues. Gotta love these real vans
