This is doing my head in
1999 TD5 Defender
Ok so far
Ignition switch replaced..... Worked for a while but still got intermittant fault every now and then!
Symptoms
P1 all systems go
P2 red lights light up, but engine check and glowplug lights dont light just as if immobiliser has ... well immobilised
However
goto P3 starter engages engine check light/glowplug light lights up fuel pump kicks and and if you hold P3 will run and rev as normal
BUT
As soon as you let go of the key and it flips to P2 the engine dies.
Have replaced injector loom as oil was in the loom.
Now if I have this right
Ignition switch should be ok because I have bypassed the switch ie taken main feed in and through a seperate switch taken it directly to the P2 output makes no diffence.
All earth's are secure.
Immobiliser should be ok or else the engine wouldn't fire
ECU should be ok else the engine wouldn't run as normal with key held at P3
All sensors should be ok or else the engine shouldn't run as normal with key held at P3
Previously forcing the start by holding P3 for a few seconds would solve the problem.
The biggest pain in the arse has been that every time I've tried to solve this issue it's been fine.
It's only now that no matter what or even for how long I hold P3 it wont stay running.
It's got to be a loose wire some where or bad connection ...... or has it
What have I missed??
