If you have a leaky injector the car won't start.

Hi Andy.
I spoke to Ian today shortly on the phone, and asked him how was the car before it decided not to start, and as above it was running ok, but as you know and myself have seen that an injector can fail, so that was my first thought to Ian.

It then transpired that it was T4 by Jamie who diagnosed a failed ITFP, Ian replaced the ITP on that diagnosis to still be left with the car not starting, therefore over the phone we went through a few steps.

First was could he hear the new ITP purring, answer was yes, had it been fitted back correctly, yes.

We then decided to unplug the UBP make sure the contacts were clean and making good connection, all was correct even though the pump sounded a bit noisy when priming, ie with ignition at II it cuts out after 40 seconds which most do anyways they can go a little longer sometimes as you may well know.

We the decided to give it a little tap just to make sure the UBP was not sticking, and is was not, tried starting car no go

So our next step was to unplug the the low pressure connector on the fuel filter top, photo is not from actual car.

Tried is again hoping it would start, still no go.

Then we unplugged the MAF as i have in the past with one diesel car (Alberts) found his car would not start with the MAF connected again another no go.

So then we /he did a quick flow test on the UBP removing the hose and inserting it into a bottle, to see if the flow was steady and no spluttering, the results are below.





Both the video's seem to show a good steady flow of fuel, therefore ruling out *UBP.

I said to Ian you are always best to have a T4 fault finding /diagnosis session done by someone whom is wiling to get their hands dirty and solve it for you there and then, otherwise in my opinion there is no point to the session other than you have been giving their opinion of what might be the problem with investigating any further

So Andy i am with you it would be best to do a leak back test, and also Ian make sure the needle is bouncing when you are trying to start the car.

Another thought could the ECU have gone for a swim or maybe the ECU capacitors are not cranking at their correct voltage.

His battery is also new another thought could it be the O-rings on the regulator.
