burnt ignition loom again

[Bas / NZ]

Went to start it yesterday and no go, fuel pump would  come on but motor would NOT turn over, pulled a few fuses and but them back in and it started. turned it off them tried again then no pump, ran a new set of wires for the pump and now works so started ok, but needs to go back to the old wiring as this controls the pump off and on sender during start up, started the van all good, went out there this morning, and pump still works but no motor start, it's like when you have the van out of park, and try to start it, pulled out all the fuses and put them back but no go, so will have a look at what you have suggest David, Thanks

I can't remember if you had the original shifter or not, check the micro switch on shifter also

[Bas / NZ]

Yes have the original shifter, seems to be all ok, as this was my first thought, don't know how to test this if ok or not, looks like a round unit that takes care of this, but pulling the fuses and replacing seemed to have worked once, didn't touch the shifter at all that I can remember.

"O" well it will have to sit there until a solution comes along.


Cheers.

my van died once and problem was a plug up by the computer, moved the loom and it went, finally tracked it down to a plug, (that time I only had ign lights and nothing else), another time it ran like crap and it was the coil pack plug.
There are lots of little pins in the plugs and a little corrosion can cause big problems, even just unplugging the and spraying some crc/wd40 into them and replugging can help

[Bas / NZ]

Ok, thanks David, if it's fine over the weekend will spay all the fuse contacts, and check loom etc, yes have ign lights and everything else.  Bas

Ok David, checked and sprayed everything, but no go, but thanks for the advice.

Cheers Bas

Hey Glenn, might be a bit longer until I'm home, they reckon I have pneumonia. I wouldn't recommend to it anyone.

No Worries. Sounds nasty, hope you get better soon. My brother is gong to check one out through a friend at some stage this week.

Cheers

Sorry dude I'm still not home yet, am over the pneumonia but am now dealing with the aftermath of all the super strong antibiotics. I'm aiming to get back next week sometime

[Marishka]

Good to hear your getting well Busy,
Ive always been wary of antiboitics but realise there are
Times when they are needed.
Whats sort of aftermath side effects can be caused from them?
Here,s to a speedy recovery.

Cheers  marty

Thanks guys, Marty, lets just say the side effects were nasty, antibiotics (3rd lot) did the trick and am over it the pneumonia.

Glenn,  I'm back in Auckland for a bit, you still wanting that loom?
Reason I'm asking is because I have to empty the van out to get to the looms ...
