Hi, hoping I can pick your brains
I have a 306 hdi with about 148k on the clock
The other day it started fine I drove it about 200yards and turned it off.. It wouldn't start again.
Ended up getting the rac out.
Basically he squirted some easy start into the inlet manifold and it started up, idled lovely for about 15 mins and I was on my way. For about a mile it ran lovely
However it then cut out and wouldn't start.
Once recovered the next day I did the same with some easy start and then the same thing after about a mile.
I can hear the tank pump priming when I turn the key however I note it was noisy as I drove (I put this down to having the carpet cover open as I drove)
I think by the fact that it runs and starts that I can rule out electrical fault or immobiliser
Also when it does cut out, there is no way of just bumping it back to life.
I do now have a check engine light which is more then I had before.
Is my likely culprit the low pressure pump or the high, it appears to be a fuel starvation issue here.
Anyone able to offer any fault finding tips. I do have peugeot planet but I fear it will simply say "fuel circuit error" which I pretty much know already
Anyone here got any pearls of wisdom?
