Engine Cutting Out

[Russellec]

I have a Grand Voyager2.8 diesel which after a low speed corner such as an intersection, and then go to accelerate away the engine dies.

Anybody got any suggestions.

Hmmm... Do the lights on the dash come on?

I assume only the red oil light comes on.

Any work done recently on it?

Also, when it dies, does it splutter, chug a few times then die or is it a total drop without any signs of spluttering/dying?

 

Difficult to know where to point you so far!

It just dies.

Yes the oil does come on, though the oil seems to be okay. And yes had a bit of work done, including what we think was water in the diesel, possibly from very poor quality fuel. Also a new belt trensioner.

...first thing is to check for negative connections, anything from the fusebox onwards towards the sensors/terminals.

Oil light being the only one staying one suggests that, the oil is grounded to the engine block, all the rest go through body chassis or ECU.

 

After work has been done, oil on the plugs' connection, poor connections, corroded pins, loose bolts/nuts....Anything related to everything connected to the negative.

If you can get the key dance and post some faults would help, or even better a diagnostic software would tell where to look.

 

Hope it helps.

This dieing on acceleration could be the boost sensor.
