The Van - 94 T4 Petrol 2.5L Manual LWB.
My ignition switch has a push button start set up as the starter part of my ignition switch is cactus and its been this way for the last 3 years that i have owned it without any problems.
The problem i'm having just of late is when i switch the ignition on i can hear the fuel pump priming and then when i hit the start button nothing is happening starter motor wise (i do hear the pump priming again as i push the button). Once or twice it has actually started but for the most nothing.
The battery is a 600 cranking amp battery and reasonably new, the starter was replaced with a new unit, the button was replaced with a better quaility unit, and i have checked every relay & fuse that i can find to no avail.
Now i simply roll start it(clutch start )and it fires every time and drives perfectly as it always has. Now after warming it up (average 3 to 5 minutes) i can turn it off on the ignition switch, then turn my ignition switch back on, hit the start button and no problem it starts straight away and i have done this repeatedly but if i leave it for 15 to 20 minutes or longer it reverts back to the same no start on the starter button problem again.
I now have a replacement Ignition switch, matching Immobiliser and ecu that i bought but am wondering is there any relays that are problematic that i should check first as i now realise that changing the ignition ( switch/lock assembly ) & immobiliser inside the dash instrument cluster area is a pain in the arse job so i'm just looking for any imput from others that have had similar issues with their T4's. Thanks Mike.
