Scenario.....:
starts and runs sweet, (glow plug light stays on though)
after aprox 1 mile the engine cuts out . restarts fine then cuts out. etc.
have bridged ecu fault connectors and no faults show.
But on one occasion, a fault was showing, half way through counting the flashes the relays under the bonnet all went crazy and the ecu read no faults ?? as the engine is dying, the same relays and the fuel spill solonoid all click like mad.
some times on trying to restart with the ecu fault socket bridged, i turn the key to on, after an initial click of one of the relays (dash lights all lit , and ecu light on perminently) it wont start, other times after you turn on the key after a few seconds a relay clicks and the engine management light blinks at a constant rate, and it fires up perfect......
so a dodgy relay or connector suspected. it would seem that as it dyes, the permenant supply to the ecu fails wiping out any error codes, also as its dying the glow plug light goes out .
the trouble is i cannot find any documentation on the net as to where all the relays are, or what the visible ones do. i cannot even find the ecu, its not behind the glove box as expected.
can any one shed some light on this or point me in the right direction ???
Thanks in advance
problem solved..
