Aldo,

This could be several things. However since you are achiving "idle", this would indicate that your T/C and other parts of the system are likely performing ok to achieve idle.

The first and most logical check is for AIR LEAKS in the fuel delivery system. REMOVE ALL FESTO fittings between the fuel tank and the pump inlet. Depending on the size of the air leak, the engine will usually allow for a very small air leak at idle but when ramping up, will cause flameouts.

When your shutdown happens, are you seening a very large cloud of smoke or just a small "puff" ??

IF your seeing a very large cloud of smoke (unburnt fuel) this would be generally associated with an Air Leak. If all you have is a very small puff of momentary smoke, this generally indicate that the ECU or some other device caused the shutdown buy termination of the fuel flow.

The other sources for problems can be:

Sticking or week fuel pump.
Insufficent ECU battery voltage.
Intermitent T/C.
Defective cable / connector.
Blocked fuel needle tubes in combustion section.

Please advise.

THANK Karry..

The turbine with only one click of Tx no more this immediately shuts down, no smoke only puff , i´m not sure that there are air leaks in fuel line, i have to check if there are an obstrutions from the pomp to turbine again , the filtre was clear , i saw a little smoke at idle where the glow plug is, battery used is 11.1v lipo, i dont know if the pomp was sticking or week , how i could know it ...?

Aldo,
This sounds like a lack of fuel due to air leak, sticking pump or could be a bad Thermocouple causing an ECU commanded Shut Down.

May want to also try running the Turbine without the Fuel Solenoid to be sure that the Solenoid is not causing this condition.

Diconnect your pump from the ECU and using a "D" size flashlight battery, connect to pump and tranfer fuel from one container to another that is graduated. You should be able to transfer approx. 4 > 5 oz (or more) in 45 > 50 seconds.

If you have not run this trubine in a long time, please try running the Turbine from another fuel source. DO NOT USE the fuel source in the AIRCRAFT. I want you to confirm that you do not have an biological (ALGIE) contaminated UAT or Main Tank Filter Clunk. I have sen this many times as well. However, if your problem developed between current and active flights, it is not likely this issue.

Due you have a DATA TERMINAL for this engine ? Please provide SERIAL NO.

Looking forward to your response.

KERRY..
Yesterday I ran the turbine without the solenoid , checked if there was air leaks on fuel line , nothing changed, i wil check how pomp works and tell you tomorrow, no have data terminal , this is an old fadec, i ´m thinking on up date the engine , changes fadec with data terminal and new solenoid , what do you think, this turbine has possibility to up date...

Aldo,

If you confirm the pump is working as I have described, I can only suggest that I send you a new T/C.

If that does resolve your problem, you will need to send me your engine for shop testing.

hi kerry.

The pomp did 4 oz in 37 sec with D battery type, may be the problem isn´t here..., if you think that t/c would be the problem , what is the process..
