2002 c5 hdi cutting out problem,.

Post by rodney »

heres the deal , I bought a citroen c5 hdi yesterday , been mint all day , tonight I take the fuel pump out the tank to look at the gauge sender , put it back and it starts fine , get 10 mins up the road and the eml comes on and the car cuts out ,

I have to lock and unlock on remote to get it to start but the eml stays on , then it runs for a shorter time each time before it cuts out,

anyone know if the pump in the tank needs calibrating??,

I admit I did turn the engine over for a second with the tank pump unplugged , but started straight away when reconnected again ,

any ideas people?? thanks :)

why did you take the pump out in the first place as its not the run of the mill thing you check on a car

A I see. if you leave the ignition on or when filling up the gauge tends to not move until the key has been taking out and the put back in

great engines but,,,

A description of all the parts on the fuel system, the expected Lexia readings of good parts, common methods to try and pinpoint problems etc etc

well I tried plugging it in to a code reader and neither I tried would work with the car ,

I have a 206 hdi for parts,
so I tried the tanks fuel pump , the same

cam senser , the same

fuel rail , the same

its at the point it wont come out a limp mode and is running approx. 5 seconds before it cuts out till you lock and unlock , that wont even always work 1st time,.
