hi I have a l200 51 plate with engine problems! have been trying to figure it out for a while and I think the time has now come to give up and change the engine problem being I don't have a lot of funds,
questions are: what kind of engine can I replace this with does it have to be 2.5 4d56
will I have to change ECU etc
does anyone know of a cheap one

whats the problem Tom? where u from tom?

is urs Pre FBW

hi from cornwall (truro) I posted on here a couple of months back the engine wouldn't rev upto 1000 rpm, think I have tried nearly every thing sent ECU away came back fine, changed both boost and barometric sensors, replaced all vac hoses (there is suction) when I plug in it will always come up with either boost senser, vgr, or ECU internal fault.the engine had been changed before I had it and it has had a new head, it is FBW!

any eml?

yes engine light will come on if it revs passed 1000 rpm, if I switch off theres a click sound after 4 or 5 seconds turn back on the light has gone until its revved again

i remember now!

have u checked the wiring loom yet?

If you have done all the checks in the mitsi manual and all is good u need to rip it apart u need to check all the wires mate

i just need to take the clocks out now as i still aint found my problem either

ive done a general visual check and have checked for any breaks in wiring to sensors ie boost, barometric with a multimeter

Fuel pump governor?

could be for tom, i swapped mine with truck 1s didnt make a difference for me but it may for him

does it start ok from cold tom?

have u done all the resistance checks and voltage checks via the ecu multi plugs?

that sounds complicated! is there an easy way to explain how to do that? my mind has gone blank!

the tests are in the tech section mate

wanna link?

what code u getting for the eml?

see here mate checks start at page 48 I did them all

in your third picture of the wiring what is the wires with the fuse for?

fuse was for some motorola hands free the last owner fitted badly

thought so mine had exactly the same? think I will try some risistance checking on the ECU

It is the next step for you mate

another thing to replace before getting another engine would be the crank position sensor. I'm happy for someone to point out if I'm wrong (as I'm always happy to learn) but I think the crank sensor controls (in some way that I dont understand) the fuel pump.

crank sensor can be tested

hi guys just a quickie the problem with my truck was the plate that runs through the crank sensor it was badly scorn and missing bits thanks Krutly for the heads up definitely something I wouldn't of known thanks again everyone regards tom
