Would error log stop it starting?

[CHEWIE]

51 E320cdi, does anyone know if the error log stored in comand, such as ecp warning, would have any effect on fuel pump, or starting?...Cheers

Chewie was your car starting and running before you changed the fuel pipes ..disconnect the electrical plug at the back of the fuel rail and crank the engine and see if that is the warning you are getting. then get back to us

Thanks, will try that tomorrow and get back to you, dont know if you saw my previous posting where i mentioned it now fires up briefly each time but stalls almost straight away,...thats what made me think ecp?.would be glad if could check my posting tomorrow and advise, depending on outcome.
Many Thanks,Ray.

I have a feeling ur losing pressure in the fuel rail

 

[CHEWIE]

Me again!, Have disconected the conection you mention and tried cranking , but there was no error message, hopefully those of you who know will be able to advise, Xtractorfan are you there?
Cheers, Ray.

chewie is there any indies near you or even any diesel mechanics, i do think you need someone to look this car over for you.I also think that u may need it put on a star diagnostic this problem is very hard to diagnose simply because the fuel system needs to be checked, there is a gauge that you can fit to the fuel rail to check the pressure.. U may even have a faulty flywheel sensor.. where in the world are you. and some of the techie guys may live near you

Thanks for getting back to me, thought there may be something deeper!, Im near Gt Yarmouth, Norfolk, UK (back end of nowhere!) and have used local Independent for service etc, they had no idea and wanted car for at least a week, maybe longer and I didnt fancy the bill much, for a seemingly straightforward job,changing o rings/fuel lines as advised by many previously on this forum and others that that was where my problem was....maybe not! what might it imply if there was no error message, should there have been one?
