on the td5 loom there are blue clips that hold parts of the loom together. a crap idea but they joints go and they get dodgy connections.
doe you get a moving speedo needle / temp whilst cranking? obviously oil in loom is first stop, have the ecu out, check the red plug. but the wire clip is what went on my old td5 90 and i ended up resoldering all the connections. the td5 use to get loss of power alot and i guess the ecu goes limp mode. |

Have you tried running an extra earth to relays and ecu? Normally from M6 bolt on side of trans box.

No oil in the loom. I'll check the rest. Thanks
You're the second person to suggest that. I'll give it a go. Thanks. |

Find somebody with diagnostic equipment and get them to check the MAF (mass air flow) sensor is working... and by working I mean look at the live data, not just fault codes.
If it has failed, poor starting is one problem, and lack of throttle response is another (along with a few other faults). Failed MAF sensors are very common on Td5's Ian |

That did show a fault about three months ago. Was replaced. Last edited by Laurie on 21st Oct 2010 5:47pm. Edited 2 times in total |

Still haven't found a solution.
Recent fuel consumption shows 24mpg rather than the regular 27mpg before the problems started. What with the gearbox packing up earlier this year, I'm regretting not taking out the extended warranty. |

Oil in the ECU
Fuel pump MAF Sensor Injectors Remove EGR, it may be all coked up. Remove CAT optional - remove middle silencer box Start with the back at the fuel tank and work your way forward to the engine. |

I think I might have found it.
The car broke down the other day after pumping half a tank of fuel into the road. The cause was the plastic drain plug in the fuel filter had broken. The head and seal were laying in the bottom of the guard. Maybe it had been leaking slightly for nearly a year. The filter and plug were replaced and since then (only three days) I've had no more poor starting or power loss. Time will tell...... |
