Fiat Doblo 1.9 JTD - Replacing Fiat Doblo Engine - akjunaid

Hi could anyone please help. I have just recently replaced an engine on my Fiat Doblo 2004 plate using an engine from a 2002 plate Doblo. The engine seems to try and tick over but it is failing to start. I have been told the fuel pump mite need resetting or decoding as the fuel pump came with the replaced engine and not its original. Can some please eloborate on this.

I think you need to talk to a good auto electrician I think you may find there is a bit more to it than you think like coding in the injectors for one,did you take the ECU out of the doner car or are you using the old one.

Hi just to let you know ive finally got it started. It turns out I had to take out the old fuel pump and replace it with the one in the donor engine, which did the job.
