I've got a 2002 Fiat Scudo van fitted with the 2.0 90bhp JTD engine (peugeot engine) and I've got issues with at the moment with starting.
Id say its more consistently worse when its hot but sometimes can be just as bad when its cold. So far have changed the ecu coolant sensor (made no difference) and have just finished changing the in tank fuel pump (s**t job, don't want to do that again and now stink of diesel!!) and that has also made no difference!

Any suggestions?!

Cheers
Martin

Get it plugged in, see what the pressures are and what they're meant to be, might be a fuel rail pressure sensor or MAF going down.

is it the 8 valve?

First thing I would have changed is the fuel filter. Make sure you fit the new seal that comes with it.

Yes mate, it is the 8 valve one. I plugged into it the other day but only with a code reader and the only fault stored was high speed fan relay. Need to blag a more in depth diagnostic setup and go into it more I guess.

If it was airflow meter or fuel rail pressure sensor would they be massively affected by temperature?

Sorry should have said, fuel filter is about 50 miles old and was playing up before the filter change.

Nope! No management light and no de pollution fault. Its that bad at starting I would have expected it to throw the management light on!

Sound like some air leak in the fuel filter/lines, maybe the filter housing is warped? or a poor seal. If theres no management light on then its not going to come up with much on diagbox, I suppose you could check fuel pressure etc but i dont think it would be that helpful to find your problem.

Thats certainly something to check. Thanks mate.
Ive got to be honest I dont know a great deal about the HDI lumps! Do you think it could be an injector issue? Saying that it runs perfectly (once started!) and doesn't smoke etc so I guess that would rule the injector(s) out?!

Many dealers stock the filter housings for these, they're quite a fragile plastic with a ratcheting clip IIRC, not like the bolted down cover ont eh XUD.

Is the engine rattly at all? missing slightly?

Nope! Not Rattly and doesn't miss! Might be an ignorant question but if the filter housing was knackered would it not be leaking fuel? Only reason I ask is because its dry as a bone round the filter housing!

If it runs well when it does start and has no faults stored its probably the crank sensor signal becomming weak. Could also be an immobiliser fault, try removing the immobiliser box when the engine IS running, you will loose central locking but it will help you eliminate an immobiliser fault.

Yes the cam and crank sensor have to match when cranking for the ecu to be happy with it, sometimes this can can a while to happen and it causes the starting to be hard work.

You need to be in a parameters section of diagnostics to see what's what.

Well problem is solved and have to say I didn't atall expect it to be what was at fault!

After spending a bit of time researching online and following the advice on here I borrowed an injector leak off tester, As said before there was absolutely no running issue (starting was s**t but performance was perfect, no smoke etc etc) Set the kit up after alot of faffing around fired it up and was expecting this test to last 2 minutes.

After just 30 seconds the leak off from injector number 3 had completely filled the container while the other 3 had literally a few drops in!

Found a secondhand injector, fitted it, performed another leak off test and all were even! Put everything back together and now she starts absolutely perfectly whether its hot or cold!

Am genuinely surprised that it was an injector at fault because as said performance was perfect and was not smoking or givong any indication that an injector was at fault! Oh well its all a learning curve I suppose!

Very good, seems the issue was low fuel pressure then as its start up that requires the most.

Good man.

Haven't had much to do with them in another shell although I had to go to the srappy earlier to get a spring clip that holds the leak off pipes on top of the injector as one disappeared in the engine bay! There was certainly more room in a 206 hdi engine bay though!!
