Ok, so Ive been trawling through on here trying to find a solution to my little problem, which happened the day before the snow came down, as per sods law.
Was out in the car, which Id been out in earlier in the day, and as I was pulling up at Maccy d's noticed it was running a bit lumpy.
Pulled up, turned the engine off, then when we set off again it was fine, but again seemed a little lumpy, but intermittently.
Halfway home, at a roundabout, it just cut out completely, wouldnt start.
Took a few goes til it started again, but it was extremely rough as though I was running out of fuel (I wasnt).
Sofar, I have replaced the fuel filter and the lift pump, checked the stop solenoid, checked the sender pipes for holes etc, and checked the injectors for caked on crud - still the same.
I eventually get it started by jumpstart, as just turning it over on the battery wont do it, then it runs very rough, as though out of fuel (got half a tank), and then will all of a sudden die as though the fuel ran out, and will not keep going no matter how much you put your foot down to rev it, because it just wont.
Im running out of ideas guys, and also patience.
The sedimentor has been bypassed in the past by a previous owner, so rules that out too.
The only things I can now think it could be, are some kind of ****e in the tank thats being drawn through instead of just diesel, the sender unit, or the injector pump, because there isnt really anything else left to check.
Any ideas, other than burn it lol.
