Hi after completing 2000 miles since a top engine rebuild ( head gaskets due to a blow to atmosphere only). I was towing a transporter trailer on a 96 mile round journey, having unloaded was on my return trip at about 58 miles when the engine overheated I stopped within 500 mtrs. We let her cool down and added 3/4 of a ltr of water the engine started and ran fine. however after running on tick over for five minuets she stalled or I should say stopped. hasn't run since.
I have a Hawkeye Total and the reading from the first list showed various cylinders misfiring. I have cleared those faults. there are no faults showing now. I have a syncmate for this vehicle so becm is connecting to engine, and showing no faults on dashboard readout. Keycode is OK.
All door footwell plugs have been removed and soldered connections made (last year ran well afterwards), also have cleaned multi pin connector under the expansion tank.
The vehicle has no spark, checked with plug no 1 earth to engine block. The coil pack was re-sited behind the battery box when the heads were done last March so has not suffered from heat from the overheat.
Anyone have an ideas where I should look next.
Vehicle based in Sussex UK.
