3.0d only priming intermittently

[Kshamm]

Still no luck. Auto electrician couldn’t find it. I’m out of ideas. It will not start at all now and the temp gauge goes straight around to hot. Does this offer any other possibilities? Please��

I’m an idiot. I knew I had read that info somewhere but could not find it anywhere in the internet. Now I realise it was eight in my face 🙈

Tested all DDE related fuses and relays for continuity and they all seem fine.

Check you are getting power on pin #2 of K2003 (the DDE relay) when the ignition is on... should be labelled as "87" on the relay.

If not, then either the DDE isn't turning on K2003, K2003 is faulty or there is no power on pin #6 on K2003 ("30") - via fuse F203.

*edit* Here's another diagram that might help...

Cheers I will try that in the morning. Pull the relay and then put the multimeter into the slot pin six goes into ? Sorry my electrical skills are non existent

You would need to measure the voltages with the relay in place. You'll need to to get to the pins while sill connected. A small peice of thin wire?

yes but did you test during one of the intermittent fail times. Dirty relay contact sounds like a solid chance.

Yes. This is why I suggested measuring from the easiest accessible location when the problem occurs. But again renew the relay as it's not that expensive and then it's ruled out.

The problem has now gone from intermittent to every time and the car can now not be started. I will do as suggested and see what I find. Thanks
