"52" reg Omega 2.2dti non starting
« on: 24 August 2009, 20:19:26 »

My pal was reversing and dropped off as kerb. The car cut out and not run since. I have checked it out and has no physical evidence underneath of contact dropping off the kerb. Have knocked off injector pipes and turned it over but still dry as a bone. The book says fuse is number 18 for pump but no 18 is non existent and never had one. Lastly it will fire if aided by Easy Start. Any ideas please ?

Hi Phil and welcome to the forum.

Is there plenty of diesel in the car, I have just done quite a lot of work on my 2.2 because it wouldn't run. If the car will run on East Start then you have a fueling problem. I started with the fuel filter and seal, then I replaced the injector seals and fuel return pipes but unfortunately for me it turned out to be the injector pump which can cost £500+ for a reconditioned one.

Hi Pete. Yes it has plenty of fuel in it. I am in the trade but bit baffled by this one. Seems to be pointing in the pump direction but was running fine before not missing a beat, just wondered if anyone had same problem

I bought mine as a non runner mainly to make a few quid but also because i've never worked on a diesel before so thought it was cheap enough if I cocked it up. After reading loads about them, it seems quite a common problem with the Bosch VP44 pump. :(

I do believe that they have a cut out sensor that cuts off the fuel when involved in an accident. This has probably been activated when it dropped off the kerb thus why no fuel. Im not certain where it will be installed buy they are usually fitted behind the drivers side footwell cover.

Is there a 'THUMP' cut out on them? Like the older fords used to have? My mothers Fiesta D used to cut out everytime she bumped off the kurb and she could never reach the reset button ;D

That would, i reckon, give a P1660 code in ecu.  Have codes been read?

Looking at the wiring diagrams for the late 2.5td relay K16 (reconveying pump) and fuse 18 are the only things on the fuel pump wire (red trace blue). Worth checking? I'll still have a look in the morning though :y
