I recently changed the fuel pump, as my DII would die on me for no reason, after checking with my local mechanic it was due to a faulty fuel pump.

I proceeded to change the pump, however, my DII would start ok in the morning (cold-start), but if I turned it off and then tried to turn it later on after an hour or so it wouldnt start, I would have to wait until next morning, and then it would start OK.

Right my DII is at the mechanic so I would appreciate your input to solve this bizarre issue.

 

SO while driving it will just shut off and then not restart for a hour or two?
Or can you drive it for hours on end and then shut it off and it wont restart?

 

The second one : I can drive for hours, shut it off, and then it wont restart........

 

That's the typical symptom of a failing Crank Position sensor. Starts fine cold, but can't restart when warm. Let sit for a few hours then it starts again. As the sensor continue failing it'll eventually start stalling after about 20 minutes of driving. I'd have the mechanic have a look at it. It's an easy thing to check / replace.

 

Have your guy replace the crank sensor, its a $60 part.

 

As you said, Temp and Crankshaft sensor showed up on the ODBII computer so I ordered the crankshaft sensor from Atlantic British $90+ a temp sensor $20 including transport to Colombia, I also changed sparkplugs (current ones had a nasty black color) and since I was shopping I bought the Magnecor ignition wire set to complete a nice ignition maintenance.

I will let you know next week how the repair ges.

Thanks for all you help,
