Hi all, not been on here for about 8 years, finally remembered my username,
Anyway a long story short my missues has a 02 fiesta tdci and up until recently been running spot on, I was coming hone from work and the car cut out on me, wouldent restart just turned over then it started hit had no revs, then it wouldent start again, got it towed home and it then started and drove fine, set of to work next morning as soon as it got warm it cit out on me again, same scenario got it recovered home it started up again, once it cuts out tho it will not restart whatever you do and its frying my head,

It's the 1.4 tdci engine Peugeot lump I believe,
I've got it dow to 2 things
Fuel filter this is the cheapest fix
Fuel pump, but on this note would the car be able to start even? It's been sat outside the house over a month now as I haven't been able to look at it but I want to get it running properly at the moment it will start and run but I've not taken it far incase it refuses to start again any help would be much appreciated

 

A defective crankshaft position sensor is also a possibility.
Happens a lot when that when the sensor gets warm/hot the signal is faulty at low engine speeds.

When does the car cut out? When breaking or being stopped at a traffic light or during normal driving at a constant speed?

 

It cuts out when driving it will do it after about 15 20 mins and it will not restart what so ever had to have it recovered both times

 

I don't think it's the fuel filter. If the filter is clogged you would have far more problems.
Crankshaft position sensor is not very likely when it happens during normal driving.

If the car has an electric lift fuel pump (in the tank) then it could be that lift fuel pump.

 

Is it a big job

 

Before asking how big the job is, I think you need to establish what the problem is.

If the car has an electric lift pump then you could measure this (low) fuel pressure to see if the pump is o.k. or not.

 

How can I test it, I have no way of getting it to a garage as it will cut out once it gets warm

 

Well it's now running removed all sensors and cleaned them all up it fired up did about 80 miles in it today and it was fine
