[shan-747]

Hi guy and girls today i was driving to work and my car just stopped and now it wont start again it cranks over just wont start as this happened to anyone

[Stropp]

hard to say, what motor what year any other symptoms???

[Clunk]

What were the symptoms when it died?

[shan-747]

Its just died no sign before it happened

[Crate]

What year? What motor? Did it cut out instantly or cough and splutter then die? Were you coasting/braking/accelerating?

[Clunk]

just read Shan's intro........ it's a 2002 GU3 ST 3ltr jobbie

[mudnut]

Any blown fuses?

[megatexture]

Has it been turning over slow on start up?

[shan-747]

Nah it just stopped no splater

[shan-747]

No blown fuses

[megatexture]

Battery Could have droped a cell ?

[AB]

If it just stopped whilst driving being a diesel my first check would be fuel supply.

Fuel lines, pump and fuel filter

Did you fill up just before this happened?

Did the engine light come on when this happened?

[shan-747]

Yea the engine light did come on

[the evil twin]

Yea the engine light did come on

Easiest way to find out what happened is to see what the fault codes are in the ECU

[AB]

NATS possibly?

Need someone who knows about the anti theft thingy you blokes have???

Could be NATS, would depend on the NATS LED is flashing but more likely an engine or fuel issue I would have thought.

Rodney may have a better idea... I'm sure he'll post up if he spots the thread

[shan-747]

Thanks guys hope its not an injector pump

[johno1938]

a short in the rev .lights will blow the main engine fuse
everthing works & turns over but wont start
ha ask me how know
another prob . blocked fuel filter
just askme how i know
anything more than that get hold of a scantool for a 5 min. diagnosis

[shan-747]

Yea getting it scaned on monday

[shan-747]

And going to look at fuel filter tomorrow

[Yendor]

It sounds like it's fuel related to me (possible the electronics in the injector pump) have you tried pumping the fuel primer? is it hard?. I'm guessing it will have injector pump codes logged. How long before it stopped has the check engine light been coming on?

When you turn the ignition on does the alternator, low oil, check engine and glow plug warning lights all come on?

When your cranking the engine does the red security light on top of the dash stop flashing?

Try swapping the ECU relay with another relay of the same color. The ECU relay is a brown relay found above the fusebox inside the vehicle.

Yea i tryed fuel primer and it was hard. And the light never come on only today when car stopped. Is it hard to get the injector pump out

Check the shut off solenoid to see if it's getting power when the ign is turned on. My TD42 did exactly the same thing & it ended up being a broken wire to the shut off solenoid.

Diesels don't just die without making noise unless it's fuel related or electrical. I doubt it's fuel or you would have had other symptoms. It could be pump but start with the simple things & eliminate them 1st.

I wouldn't touch the injector pump myself. They're very precise. Take it to CD Diesel in Bayswater, just off Collier rd. They've done work for me in the past & the work was good & price was cheaper than A1 or United.
