Zak Posted September 26, 2017 Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi, i have a Chrysler Voyager Executive 2.8CRD Auto, 78k mileage. When driving the engine keeps cutting out regardless weather if engine is cold or hot. it is a intermittent fault. After cutting out its a struggle starting back up but usually eventually it does. sometimes after turning twice and sometimes even more and waiting for a awhile. When it does start up it will then drive fine for a moment and then it will cut out again. i have changed the oil filter and it was fine for about a week untill it started doing it again Also left the car idling for about hour and didn't cut out so it seems like it only cuts out while actually driving it. I have taken it to 3 different garages no one can find the fault and nothing comes up on the diagnostic machines. can someone please help asap? I've been also looking for a Chrysler Specialist Garage in London area can't seem to find any. does anyone know who can fix it? I saw on the VOSA website that they had a recall of voyagers for engine cutting out but I spoke to Chrysler customer service and local fiat dealer and they don't want to know as my vin number is not on their recall list.

mikebh8 Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 Hi, when it does cut out, does the lights on the dash come on, do you still have electrical power like outside lights, cuts off slowly losing power or just suddenly no pedal with quick loss of speed? Any dash lights are on while engine running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts out suddenly when driving but doesn't cut out when left it idling for 1 hour, no lights on dash all electrics workkng fine, just no pedal and steering wheel and brake pedal goes very stiff.

mikebh8 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Check for the turbo actuator that opens and close properly, dirt in the recirculation pipes, has the car done short trips for a long period of time?These cars are usually used on school runs, that type of driving is the worse for a diesel. You could try a turbo cleaner but if the carbon built up severely against the pipes, it may not work unless pipes are dismantled and cleaned properly.

ctc Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Hi I had the same problem. Changed fuel pressure relief valve at the end of the fuel rail - still cut out and difficult to start.Replaced fuel filter housing with uprated design (original can crack and let in air in where the fuel heater plugs in) - still cut out etc.Renewed all injectors and glow plugs - problem not solved.Changed fuel metering solenoid on the fuel pump - problem solved. Diagnostics are fairly limited, I took my car to a diesel specialist who used the lastest Bosch equipment.Also pressure tested the the output of the fuel pump, tests indicated all systems working OK.He did suggest changing the solenoid as a last resort. ctc Zak 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zak Posted February 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 So after 4 months in Garage still not managed to fix the fault. Fuel pressure checked, fuel pump tested, valves tested. When it cuts out it seems like it ls fuel starved, Can someone please help me if anyone has managed to fix this or let me know which garage has experienced this problem and fixed it.

ctc Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Hi Zak, Sorry for taking sooo long to reply, I shall have to visit the forum more often. Yes the fuel metering unit did fix the problem, I fitted it myself, cost £130. ctc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
