Transit Starts fine then will cut out...

[jon2076]

Hi i have a Transit 2003 85 t300 swb fwd, Suddenly the glow plug light just started flashing and the engine just cuts out, it will restart drive 10 yards and do the same again It ticks over and revs when stationary. cant find any signs of fuel leaks. AA came out not much help lol.... Got fault codes P1563 P1564 P1631 P1664 P1665 can any one help where to start much apreciated

[APH]

P1563 = Injection pump requesting engine stop
P1564 = Injection pump requesting reduced fueling
P1631 = PCM Power elay fault / Immobiliser (anti-theft) signal incorrect
P1664 = Injection pump control module malfunction / Injection pump malfunction (possible air ingress)
P1665 = Injection Pump Communications error


Looking at that lot, I'd start by checking the wiring to the fuel pump, as it is common to find it chaffed/shorted where it goes by the starter. This would also fit in wiht why it stops when tying to drive it, as when putting engine "on Load" eg. driving wheels, it rocks the engine backwards, moving wiring loom/pulling tight, causing damaged bit to move.

Only a guess, but defo worth looking at first, as seems unlikely to be pump fault if it starts / revs ok when not moving, and the damaged wiring was acommon porblem on the front wheel drive vans...

Well ive checked over as much wiring as i can see and found no shafing etc, ive yanked wires with the engine running and it doesnt cut out.
Can anyone tell me where all the sensors are located on this 2.0 ltr fwd duratorque 2003/53 many thanks......

I have also noticed that fuse no 22 blows ocasionally in the fuse diagram this is listed as fuel pump, would this be an electric pump in the tank of something to do with the injection pump? Can anyone please help?

It could be the metering solonoid breaking down.
Could check the resistance of it.

[winterheating]

also check the resistance of the wiring from fuel pump plug to the engine loom plug.

also check the resistance of the wiring from fuel pump plug to the engine loom plug.

Any idea where this pump is located, or are you refering to the injection pump?

[winterheating]

yes just the FIP only the 125ps RWD vans have lift pumps fitted.

Is there any Mobile diesel mechanics out there that would visit Park Wood Gillingham ME8 To have a look at my Transit 85 t300 2003/53 Prices Please?

I would just like to say a big thank you to for helping me out with this van.
Promlem has now been solved, it was the cable that goes to the fuel metering solenoid had a very minute split in the outer covering so shorting out on the F.I.P, so cheap fix with a piece of fuel hose sheefed over the cable job done...
Many Thanks Again
