Hi all,
last few months i´ve been bagging my head on the wall as i cannot find the cause of my problem.
i got a 2002 defender Td5. sometimes it is difficult to start. the weather or time of the day has nothing to do with it.
sometimes it will start in a cold morning by the first turn of the starter motor but at noon it will start at 2nd or 3rd attempt (if i am lucky).
i´ve been to the mechanic and checked the ECU using aland rover diagnostics with no problem reported. i have elrectrical installation and battery check with no error.
i have changed the ejector harness just to be sure.
if it was a sensor issue it should show an alarm on diagnostics, right?
the only thing that i noticed (i am not sure if it was just luck), when it had difficulty in starting, if i pushed down the fuel pump replay while starting it was ok.
what i am not sure about is if the fuel pump and main relay are correct. as i got the car second hand, i think they have been changed as they have "Ford" brand on them. (land rover / bmw used ford parts?)
did any1 have the same strange starting problem?
can any1 confirm which are the correct replays for fuel pump and main relay?
