movano van - 03 2.2 not starting - jackson
Hi all,
I have a problem with my vauxhall movano. mileage 67000
My van has just had work done to the gearbox, new clutch assembly, new slave cylinder. new master cylinder & new gearbox bearings. on replacing all components i started to turn van over & it started only for about 5 seconds & died, tried again a few times but would not fire. sprayed some easy start into air assembly & it started.

Checked seals to diesel filter all fine, fuel filter has just been replaced checked for problems it to was fine, disconnected hose from fuel filter to diesel injection pump & turned van over to check for fuel, this to was working so pump in tank working.
disconnected fuel union nut at fuel accumulator turned van over but no fuel delivery, could this mean injection pump goosed or is there something else i might have missed before i change pump as its not cheap.

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE I COULD TRY OR TEST.

van was running fine when it was parked up before work started on gearbox,

Cheers

immobiliser light is off.

does start with the help of easy start but dies as soon as you stop spraying the easy start.

A friend has one of these -a 53 plate, same engine. His problem was traced to a faulty immobiliser receiver in the ignition keyway - apparently a common and a fault which came an went.
