wick3d Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hello Everyone. I have a problem with firing the Freelander 2 - 2.2 diesel 2007. After a long standstill and especially when the engine is cold I need to shoot about 10 seconds before he starts. I suppose that, as it will get colder its gonna take more time to start. On the strip after 2 s there is enough fuel pressure. I put up a check valve in the fuel supply and nothing. Does anyone know what could be causing this? or had a similar problem? I have changed the " temperature sensor" but nothing happed anyone know how can i solve this problem? Also spargs are brand new and they works perfect, even when i heat up the spargs problem is still the same, And I'm so sorry for my English Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viorelluta Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 hi, What is the mileage of your engine? I think there are many possible reasons, please check this page: http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/index.htm?t=80853 I guess you need a proper diagnosis before replacing anything else. Please let us know what was the problem, once successfully solved. good luck viorel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viorelluta Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ... I forgot to ask you what is the outside temperature when the engine don't start, a certain delay is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wick3d Posted March 18, 2011 Author Share Posted March 18, 2011 Also when I was checking the engine tester, the fuel pressure is 235-250 The injectors were tested on the apparatus and on a car and thye are ok as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viorelluta Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I am not a mechanical engineer, but I guess at 200k km the compression may be a problem for diesels. Have you checked it? What oil do you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I doubt very much it's a mechanical problem, it will most likely be with the engine management - either a faulty sensor or similar. Since you have already changed the coolant sensor, the next popular ones to look at are inlet air temp (built into airflow meter) and crank position sensor (CKP), most of the others have minimal effect on the running and are more used for economy/emissions trim.

wick3d Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 Hey guys,, Thanks for replay.

Could anyone tell me what is the role of tank fuel pump, could this be a problem? or high presure pump which cost apox 400 Pounds>?...
