Bongo Fury

hi guys,hope your all well. I have a problem with my 1997 v6 lpg/petrol bongo. the engine cuts out after a long run, usually when slowing down. when i try starting it again there is nothing, only when i leave it for at least 20 mins to cool down will it start again. the temp gauge is fine before it cuts out. it cuts out on lpg and petrol. it doesnt happen on every long run. I have seen previous related posts on forum but their bongo seems to start right away after cutting out, with mine there is nothing at all until it cools. hope you can help. davie

Could be a faulty ignition and spark system causing problems ? Check distributor, leads and spark plugs as a minimum.

thanks, its booked into local garage on thurs,i`ll give them all the info i can.

Hi I know this is an old post but how did you get on as my bongo is just started to do the same.
Thanks Del

Which engine do you have?

Mine is a 2.5 v6 petrol strange it was fine today, it had this problem before I brought it a month ago. The trader had fitted a new crankshaft sensor I've driven it with no problems from Manchester to kent it's been my daily driver so not sure now

Hello, I have a cutting out issue with my Bongo V6 2.5 petrol, I have been though everything checking and testing, Replaced the O2 sensor, crankshaft sensor, new ignition coil, new plugs and leads. But it still cuts out after about 45mins to 1 hour, once it cuts out, then it doesn't start again until cool. Can anyone help.

Another possible cause is the sensor inside the distributor https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143996874577 this has been reported a number of times as being a heat dependent problem. It fits below the rotor in the body itself with a plug on the outside for its connections.
