small landy problem!!

[Matthew Storrs]

recently my 300 tdi engine has been cutting out as iv been going along (once on the dualcarriageway which was interesting) then when I try to restart it it turns over but doesn't fire, after a time it will suddenly fire back to life as if nothing happened- anyone else experianced this or an idea of what it might be, I can't find any loose conections but it feels like the fuel supply cuts out momentarily or something:confused1:

Fuel pump maybe mate?

[Paul Smith]

Fuel solenoid?

[treebloke]

Sounds like air in the fuel line. Could also be the lift pump on the way out.

 

Have tried bleeding it when it stops, is there air in the system.

Fuel solenoid?

 

Not on a 300

Fuel issue, filter, pump, stop solenoid could have had it. Carry a spanner that fits the injector in pipes union when it does it again undo the fuel pipe and turn over if no fuel fuel problem. You will have to fault find from there, start at the tank and work through to injectors.

Oh yeah and hi lux are fault free,yawn. My landy has stuff break so what? I tow everyday, I off road every day, I go pretty much anywhere I need to in it, I can carry lots of wood, I winch stuff and I couldn't do my job without it.

These are all possible causes, however if it was a fuel supply issue, wouldn't it be spluttering once it was trying to start again? it doesn't at all it just fires straight up again, Do 300s have a fuel cut off switch in case of an accident like td5s?

Thanks
