Berlingo 2005 HDi2.0

Unread post by Kristi0205 »

I have probleem. If I start the engine, it works about 5 seconds and just stops, I do not do anything. Engine sounds ok, I checked fuel filter and pump.

Any ideas what is wrong.

Have you had fault codes read on it? Could be EGR valve stuck open, You could blank it of for test purposes to rule it out.

I'd be tempted to manually prime the fuel with the hand pump under the engine cover. If it starts and stays running for longer, then there is either a leak between the handpump and the fuel rail (possibly the fuel filter housing) or the tank vent is creating a vacuum and sucking fuel back meaning you arent getting the right amount of fuel upon starting the car (also try priming the fuel via the key - just turn key on (but not start the engine) 3 times - you should hear the whine of the pump priming the lines without the engine running. Then on 3rd go, actually start the engine. If it turns out to be a vacuum in the tank, leave the filler cap off and try again.
