kudlinski Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Help! My fathers freelander has just conked out on the a14 and is being recovered. Car just lost power and coasted to a stop and wnt restart. Fuel is getting through to the engine bay and it isn't throughing any fault codes. Would the high pressure pump just fail with no warning? The car has only covered 70k and is religiously serviced. Any help would be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangy35 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 My experience is if there is any fuel pressure concerns there will usually be fault codes. Was it a slow loss of power like running out of fuel, or was it a sudden cut like a electrical fault? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kudlinski Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 I've put my snap on scanner on it and it shows nothing. It was a sudden loss of power and the car just coasted to a stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Do you get RPM registered on the diagnostics when you crank it? Crank sensor is a single point of failure on a lot of engines as the ECU sees the engine "not turning" and cuts everything. Quite rare to just cut off dead though.

discomikey Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 dont shoot me for trying to teach gran to suck eggs, but does the engine turn over okay? is it trying to fire? have you got any noid lights? have you had chance to run any electrical diagnostic checks on various sensors, i.e. crank sensor cam? sensor?

kudlinski Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks for all your input guys. I managed to track down the problem which turned out to be the fuel rail pressure sensor wiring which wasnt seating correctly on the sensor. Was fun and games tracking the problem down least its sorted and my fathers a happy man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
