When mine wouldn't start, it turned out to be a spiked ecu caused by the flat battery... when I turned the key and it just clicked it killed the ecu... Hdi 90 bosch.

I just take it easy in first gear so the revs are high to keeping the exhust clear and make sure I'm not following anyone else through in case they mess up and stop, if you stop its game over...

Be carefull cranking the engine till the battery goes flat... you could spike the ECU I found out the hard way when mine wouldn't start, £408 lighter in the pocket

That does sound similar, thanks I'll have another look at that box... think I'll check the earths as well, car sat idle for 3 months as you never know...

Took it out again this afternoon... stalled again eml back on, pick up a couple bits of shopping got home eml back off :| I know i've mentioned the injectors but I'm not convinced it's that... :?: :?: :?: when you turn the ignition off what actually stops the HDi engine? It wouldn't be the fuel pump...

:evil: :evil: :evil: Well it's Feckin doing it again... Had a 80ml round trip to do this morning and as entered the slip road on to the motorway the car stuttered and flashed up the eml then cut out 1/2 ml latter on the motorway... pulled over onto the hard shoulder and it restarted we then carried ...

The reason... eml has not reappeared and the car has run faultlessly since don't know if i've now tempted fate, probably
but untill it plays up again Im touching nothing...

Took the fuel pressure reg of the pump (lost my t30's down the back somewhere in the process :evil: ) on Sunday and gave it a clean, changed the fuel filter and half filled bowl with injector cleaner... car ran perfectly on the drive, took it out last night for a spin, eml off... gave it a good thra...

Thanks
I'll have a go at that first...

Its a 2001 2.0l Hdi 90...
Seems to be one thing after another with it at the moment

Thanks, prob have to change that as I dont think smoke shouild be coming of it

I was under the bonnet earlier with the engine running, when I thought I saw a whisp of smoke come up near the throttle link :shock: as I had a closer look I caught a wiff of that horrible hot electric smell... you know the kind thats not good. I spotted this under the throttle behind the airbox, th...

Thanks for the info Steve

Found a set of injectors on fleabay matching my numbers :) out of an 84k engine, just have to wait for them to arrive.
