    GU won't start

    Wife's 2002 GU 3ltr grenade stalled on her way to work yesterday but restarted fine , I followed her home from work it stalled once but again fired up first pop got home no worries .
    Put 40 litres fresh diesel in because it was under quarter full took it for a spin and it died but didn't stall so went home and parked up .
    Started it this morning ok and went to put it in the shed it stalled three times .
    Once in the shed I turned it off and lifted the bonnet and now it won't fire at all , can hand prime pump about half a pump only so not sure if it's fuel but maybe injector shit itself not sure , had alternator changed three weeks ago but that's it .
    Going to replace fuel filter in case it's blocked and have some MAF sensor cleaner will give that a go but is this something someone else has come across and if so what was it ?

    Did test battery even though it's a year old and it's good at 12.79 as for alternator I'd have to get it going before I can check that .

    No mate no reader so will call RACV and get a free reading on Monday , not happy with last mechanic to clean the MAF sensor the barstard coated the seal in what looks like yellow axle grease ,and slapped it on .
    Have disconnected the battery and will check again tomorrow but have ruled out Nats as well now .

    You don’t need a reader. You can bridge the plug and record the flashes with your phone.
    There was a thread on the forum here that explained the procedure.
