Bongo Fury

ok folks help needed again bongo has stared to cut out intermittently when coming to a stop and take a bit of time to get her going again any ideas .....thinking the fuel pump may be going faulty what do you think

A common problem is a vacuum forming in the fuel tank due to a blocked vent in the fuel cap, try releasing the cap, and running without it for a couple of journeys.

You don't say if your Bongo is petrol or diesel .....

Diesel

As Geoff said, fuel pump seal,and or blocked fuel cap breather, they work in tandem to make life difficult!! Run it without the cap, if the seal hasnt failed too much you'll be fine, but the point will come where it'll need replacing

Julian

as Julian says.... Fuel Pump seal(s) ....could also be an air leak at a joint too.... last resort problem is Pump failure...the internal rotors can wear out...which results usually in your symptoms BUT usually that also has a period of cut outs (usually soon after cold starts, normally when slowing down soon after cold start and ends with a cut out as if your fuel has run out and if...if you get restarted it will run on 3 cylinders etc...

Bit of an update , im very peed off with my bong had the fuel pump reconditioned seals changed ect, but since its been refitted the hold light is flashing ..dose anyone know if the throttle potentiometer may have been reassembled wrong to cause the problem.
please help . im getting to the point of thinking about burning it out over the park

by the way its a n reg diesel

hold button dose not work at all

Hi coolerking76,

Did you remove and refit the IP before and after it was serviced or did the diesel shop do the full job.?

yeah, my local garage removed the pump and sent it away to be done

Hi,did your local garage refit and time the pump.?

Cheers.

yes that's right yes, he did, not really sure about timing though he never mentioned it it also chuggs and splutters when its been stood for a good while

do you think this may be related

sorry if i sound dumb i only have a very small knowledge of engines

Hi coolerking76,

I would take the vehicle back to your garage and ask them to have a look at it,it may need the IP timing and the TPS adjusted.

Good luck..
