Guest bartbass Posted June 21, 2007 Posted June 21, 2007 i've got a '94 xantia 1.9td vsx nd it wnt start.engine turns fine but no fuel !! tried priming but the bulb doesnt hold the pressure.any ideas what i could do?!please reply asap!!!!! Quote
DickieG Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Does the car start at all just after getting pressure on the priming bulb? After a short period pressure normally falls via the leak off pipes. Have you checked that the glowplugs are working correctly? If you can give further details of work undertaken then I can narrow down the areas to look. Quote
Guest bartbass Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 yeah it turns over k but wnt start at all even after bein primed.it feels like when u run out of fuel but i got 1/4 tank!?checked fuses.nd battery no joy though.maybe pump itself?just cranks over doesnt even try to kick in nd get smoke out exhaust?! was runnin fine a week ago never hd ne troubles startin.

DickieG Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 Take a look at the fuel solonoid cut off valve located on the pump. Is the wire still connected/is it receiving a feed? If it is remove it then pull out the plunger, refit the valve without the plunger and see if the engine starts. If it does you'll need to stall the car to stop it but at least you will have diagnosed the fault . Have you checked that the timing belt hasn't slipped/snapped? Quote
