I am still a tyro on these cars, but..........I too have had some faults like the occasional loss of power for a few seconds on sharp left hand bends, the door lock going crazy and very occasional involving door locks a refusal to start.
I am currently thinking the crazy door locks may be due to the key fob, but not sure yet...........so its probably gunna be the locks control unit........
The immobiliser seems to disable the fuel injection via the electronic injectors rather than via the brown relay controlled fuel lift pump in the tank, but someone will confirm this I hope.
You will be able to hear the fuel lift pump when the engine is not running, when you turn on the ignition. It runs for a few seconds then stops, if the engine has not been started.
It was suggested to fit an idiot light to show when the lift pump is running, for my left hand problem.
Get a pp2000, or similar, else you will be going round in circles loosing your hair!! Its well worth the money and gives live info as well as logged faults.
A blocked fuel filter is an easy fix, when was the filter changed last. The tank lift pump also has a filter screen, see the "how to" threads.
I will try and find the earth's picture for you, but look around the forum for info and note stuff down, its a brilliant forum for these cars.
The problem came back a few times and went again. Then a ECU light appeared on the dash. I noticed that the lift pump was actually not getting power when the car wouldn't start so i bought a small jump starter battery to keep in the car for emergencies. I would use crocodile clips to connect it to the lift pump. The car would start instantly and i could drive it to safety. After that it would normally start on the first turn.
you have had this problem for years ?
ecu repair by pug??
Hot wire pump and it starts all ok ???
I wonder, a make and break contact in the loom form the engine???
You need to be very methodical and have the kit ready when it misbehaves, else its a needle in a hat stack and you don't even know which field its in!
a loss of power to the lift pump when this problem happens.........there is a diagram on the relay for its internal wiring, one relay feeds the other....same relay on a citreon dispatch that I had to con the ecu into thinking all was well, via the brown relay.
