2.2 DTI EML and won't start

Postby Jonah on Sat Mar 12, 2016 12:59 pm

Hi everyone,

My 2003 2.2 DTI went into limp mode last night on way home from work. It's happened before but runs and drives ok just reduced power output. This seems to be an intermittent fault as it was fine for 3 days before it happened again.
Went out this morning and it won't start???

I took the MAF sensor out and cleaned I I last night, cleaned it and put it back, it was already pretty clean, but I didn't start the car up as it was always starting previously??


Any ideas

Regards

Jonah

Could be any number of things, sensor, fueling, vac, ideally you need to get the codes read, where in east anglia are you?

how did they determine no diesel getting through? failed pump usually throws up a fault.

I had a similar issue and it was down to corroded fuel pipes so changed the lot and it fixed it.

Thanks mate will have a look.

I got a feeling it might be the fuel pump relay as no priming hum when ignition is turned on.

A quick update, its looks like corroded fuel pipes letting air in to the system, just waiting to hear back from the garage today. :thumbdown:
