Mark Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I am still having an issue with the engine mis-firing when under load at high RPM. so thought I would check the ECU wiring loom. The red plug of the ECU to my TD5 was pretty sodden in oil when I took it apart to investigate this evening. so could this be the cause of the misfire? I have cleaned out the plug and socket on the ECU and it seems a lot better, but I guess this is only a temporary fix, so an anyone suggest what the proper fix is for the problem? Searching for oil td5 and ecu doesn't seem to give much in the way of results... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted July 7, 2010 Author Share Posted July 7, 2010 Thanks for the link... It would appear then that I have already solved the problem by changing the injector loom... I shall keep an eye on the red plug.... ta Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retroanaconda Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Mark, I've heard of people making a cut in the loom wrapping at a low point, to allow the oil out before it gets to the ECU? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranberry Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 spray brake cleaner into the loom at the engine end every so often and it'll help the oil make it's way along towards the ECU. I wrapped paper towel around the red plug in order to soak the oil up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
