sheltie50 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Hi I am sorry to keep posting for help but have many real problems and it just gets worse. P38 dse, poor starter, went to fit " hot start fix with timer" tonight, as I pulled the glow plug timer from the ecm box the feed to the glow plug timer touched the casing of the engine ecm, now it wont start, no glow plug lights, no injector light, everyting else works, cant see a fuse problem. Have I killed the ecm !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_d Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 The feed wire you used to zap the ECU with, does it still have 12V on it? I would not think zapping the case would cause a problem but may have blown a fuse in that line. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Dont know just yet, but it wasnt a very heavy short and I cant see any blow fuses, Ill take the meter with me later today and start tracing. Need this thing to run next week so in a little trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve That would be my guess as well. Worth checking both fuseboxes and perhaps even the relays. I don't have the electrical trouble shooting manual here at work, but if you can find one, it would help narrowing the search! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks, I have spoken with 2 l/r garages, one tells me it could be a fuse the other suggests that the ecm will be wrecked and a new one is over £700. Will have a look at the fuses during my lunch in hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie50 Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Checked all fuses, no problem there, noticed the the injector light will flash occasionaly, dont think the intank pump is running, no glow plugs Reckon I've blown the ecm.

steve_d Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 Reckon I've blown the ecm. Where are you in the world. Have you tried Martin Toole in Southampton. He breaks RR and disco and sell the parts on ebay http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Range-Rover-...s__W0QQ_armrsZ1 Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
