hi all, just bought a 2000 2.4 turbo, story so far, ran out of diesel about a year ago and left stood for about 6 months then the guy tried to get it running put in half a tank of fuel but no joy,so got someone to have a look, they replaced something possibly a pump, not to sure, then it would fire but not start. we got it back to the workshop today and now have diesel at the injectors and it is trying to start but just wont quite get there. any advice greatfully recieved, realy would like to get this running.
thanks.

did you prime the fuel system? im not 100% sure but here is the info in the manual

thanks have tried that not sure if we did it 100 strokes though, is there anything else that we could have missed :?:

are you getting enough diesel to injectors and was the pump programmed when fitted?
does sound like if its trying to start that it could be just air in the system,try a touch of cold start in the intake to see if it runs on that and try to pump the fuel through.
i replaced a fuel filter a while ago and couldnt get it to run no matter what i tried in the end i dragged it down the road to pull the fuel through :shock:

hope you get it going mate

can anyone tell me what the little see through thing is on the front of the filter housing ?

Thats the Service indicator for the filter

thanks for that, spoke to someone last night and he said its probably damaged the pump and that it would be about £1000 for the part and a pain to fix, could he be right cos i dont realy want to spend that much on it.

Still no joy, tried wot u suggested. Does fire but just wont keep running, even towed it. Any more advice or does anyone want to make me an offer :wink:

Take the filter off again, fill it with clean diesel and try again

If someone replaced the pump from the original and it hasnt been to ford to have the pump coded to the van thats probably your problem

by **badboy1** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:12 pm

prety sure it hasnt had the pump replaced

your transit is a mk 6 isnt it sorry to ask but just to make sure i know you said it was a 2.4

why was it stood for 6 months :?:

by **badboy1** » Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:27 am

yer its a mk6, when it was run out of diesel the company that owned it had just got 2 brand new transits so i guess the last thing they were worried about was there old one
