Engine Cut Out

Romeo Delta · Apr 6, 2014

I am having problems again with my TD4 Freelander 1.
Symptoms are as follows:
Engines starts ok and revs with no problems.
As soon as I drive off, accelerate and pass 2000 RPM the engine loses power and it goes into partial limp mode.
The engine management light illuminates and eventually the engine will be starved of fuel.
However if I switch off the ignition and restart the engine the management light extinguishes and the car revs ok until I accelerate away and pass 2000 revs then it repeats the same problem.

Is this a symptom of a broken hi pressure fuel pump? or something else?

sounds like either pump is failing or filter is blocked

Same was happening with my 05 Td4, eventually cut out under a barrier at work excellent! Took off the common rail fuel sensor plug at the right (passenger side) of the inlet manifold. Once again cleaned it with Ambersil electrical cleaner and it is running great now. Still bought the Common Rail Sensor repair kit from Britparts and will replace next week but it is running really well. Check yours to see if it is greening inside the connector

Thanks for the help guys but I have despatched it to a landrover specialist to check over. I think it could be the fuel filter as it revs ok at standstill.
Will let you knoiw the outcome once i get it repaired.

Well it turned out to be a faulty injector. I was surprised as it didnt show signs of miss firing, however it did sound like it was pinking slightly.

Thanks for your replies

Funny how when the car goes to a garage to be fixed it usually the expensive stuff that's broken.
