Boogie Boots hey. So, we need to get to you with the ECU. it will be happening. The ZD30. Advertised it with full disclosure for 6k (bargain really) and despite several professional mech, and wanna be mechs looking at her none of us could confirm the fault, but all leaned toward the pump...

Anyone of the Nissan fanatics out there who would like a christmas present, this 2006 Nissan navara with a perfect engine (except for needing a new or re worked VP44 fuel pump) and a mere 170,000k on the engine (just run in) could be sitting in your shed getting ready for whole new life...

Rumpig, Cheers, Should be borrowing a (main) ECU from Boogieboots this weekend and will try that first just to rule that out. But as you say if its not the main ECU then it has to be the VP44 ECU. The temps around the VP44 never reach above 82 degrees (measured externally with a temp gun)...

Redkite, Hi yes, I broke the old one getting it out and replaced with a new one. Q: Would the ECU cut the fuel if the coolant sensor sent a high temp reading? The temp gauge (that appears to be fed from another temp measuring probe as it reads with or without the coolant sensor...

Q: Does a ECU need to be specific or set somehow for the fuel pump or are they interchangeable.

Update; changed the thermostat and refilled with water only (nb*) removed the EGR as per witch doctors instructions and blanked both ends and replaced. Started first time and ran well up to 72 degrees (10 degrees cooler than usual) then stuttered and stopped. so nothing I have...

Yeah, Its getting Tired. wouldn't be able to sleep knowing these last things haven't got tried at least. Boogie Boots! thats an awesome offer.... And I would happily drive to you to borrow that ECU. Lets give this issues one last push and keep this meandering thread...

Thats Funny Tony.. the Straw analogy. I thought the same as I blanked the top with minimum effort. I called the mechanic back who suggested I blank it and he said that the top gets blanked for increased compression and the bottom is blanked as thats where the heated gas...

See the fuse I removed (it was Labled as GLOW) shout if its the wrong fuse.. I didnt locate a relay (if you know where that is Tweake please share, and thanks for input) I Pulled that 80a fuse once she was running and waited, she died again at 82 degrees. Managed to pull the Thermostat...

Im getting excited!! sounds like exactly whats happening... so, just to check: I locate the fuse for glow pugs. start her and while she is running pull that fuse and see if she runs without stopping at the 82 degrees.

Thank you for replying, So the glow plug is only used for cold starting or are they essential in the firing of the fuel. I know to wait for the glow plug light to turn off before starting. I will locate that fuse and pull it.... Tony did mention about glow plugs earlier.

Tweake do you mean the chip in the main ECU or the chip in the VP44 pump. sorry if im not getting it. Tony it will start with temp sensor un plugged (idles slightly higher) I replaced old for new yesterday. that sensor dose not affect the temp gauge She always stops /cuts off at 82...

Also: I measured the temp directly at the fuel pump when she stops with a digital thermometer gun. 33 degrees. the block was reading 72 and the water according to the ECU talk was 82 degrees. this is the bit that I cant fathom, that 33 degrees is an average summer day temp and no way...

contacted Allied diesel in wangarra today. as well as hi tech diesel in SA (yeah i called the 08 prefix thinking it was Perth) The Bloke at Allied diesel was sound, I told him the fault and he didnt try to flog me a pump instead he was adamant he knew the fault. and told me to blank off the...

Tweake, Old Tony, Cheers for replies. Electronics can be problematic when water is involved, strange that applying water is allowing this unit to work perfectly. I might strip it and investigate but will pitch this issue out to the fuel pump specialists in the US and see whats possible or...

So today I started her easily and let her run up to 82 degrees water temp at that point she just dies, Took the hose pipe and run it over the the VP44 fuel pump watched the engine water temp at the same time with the ECU talk. this time with the water cooling from the hose directed...

Little Update for the thread: Got the ECU Talk cable plugged into OTG and Android smart phone to NDS1 app. bingo!! At first three codes 73: p3-pump comm line (started 19 times with this fault) 13: coolant temp sensor (started 2 times with this fault) 95: Turbo...

Hopeless, I am intrigued, reading back to your first post you describe a similar situation to mine. now if yours starts and runs (at all) then have you timed how long? I just can not believe that a engine that starts every morning and runs with heaps of power and zero smoke...

Guys, we are going to crack this I can taste it.... Boogieboots that digital manual would be really awesome. I have emailed a firm in bayswater that dont have a hone number but specialise in the scanners and have asked for an android compatible version that works on this 2006 ZD30. OBD...

Hopeless!! Cheers for that encouraging information packed post... Shouldn't laugh but its good to know that its not just Slowlearner with a challenge do deal with regards this ZD30. Without a Challenge whats the point. Ok Now Boogie boots would you be able to send me a link for...
