Technical Fiat ducato 2.8i jtd not starting after winter

[Yorkysteve]

Hi I have a 2001 fiat ducato 2.8i jtd motorhome 2001 tried to start it after winter but engine turned over but not firing. I changed fuel filter but no fuel coming out of pipe. I checked the tank float pipes and no fuel coming from there when engine turns over and cannot locate fuel pump. It worked perfectly before winter but was left with a full tank of deisel over winter any ideas anyone. Thank you

Just followed wires to immobiliser and looked to see if I can remove the circuit bord or disarm it but the is an ijector pipe in front of it and awkward to get at can I just disconnect the plug would that work

Sorry, not that simple. The immobiliser is a piece of electronics mounted on the pump. It controls the supply the "stop" solenoid on the pump. Solenoid must be energised for vehicle to run. With protective shield removed from pump, it is then possible to reconfigure wires so that solenoid is supplied directly from ignition switch.

Do you know anyone who can do it for me please

As @Communicator says, it's a pain to access , but once done as advised, then fuel solenoid can be activated regardless of immobiliser chip etc.

Thank you for that but I'm not confidant or skilled enough to do it do you know who can please thank you

No

I think @Communicator posted a link to thread how to remove the part of imobiliser that is bolted to the pump earlier in this thread.
Find it read it understand it...learn from someone having gone through what you are going through and posting the way they got over it.

 

[jackwhoo]

Even if you are not up to doing the removal if you know how and can print the how to you can give it to a mechanic so they know what is required / which tools before hand

 

[Yorkysteve]

Thank you for that but I don't feel confident about doing it so would rather pay someone to do it and get it sorted once and for all so if anyone knows a mechanic in the selby/york area I would be grateful

 

[jackwhoo]

You are more likely to find someone willing if you print the how to and give it to them.

 

[Yorkysteve]
