Engine just stops???

Stephen Hutton · 6th August 2010, 18:40

Hi everyone, I need some guidance or suggestions.

My MG ZT CDTi (2002) has now been with my local mechanic for almost 4 weeks!!

The original problem was the Power steering pump, that was replaced, then immediately the A/C pump went, then the belt and engine pulley (twin pulley).

I really miss my car and just as he was puting all the bits back together, the engine stopped without notice, he said it would not start until the next morning, then the same again! So we have asked a local techie to come over tomorrow and wire her upto to his computer to analyse the ECU.

Anyone out there suggest what else it maybe? I just want my pride and joy back home...

Cheers

Stephen

could be one of the fuel pumps, very common on the diesels, have they checked them??

Also worth looking at the camshaft sensor
