Hard Start to Low RPM to Error Code to no Error - MF 1754

[madtowneast]

Hi,

I have a MF 1754 that had a really hard time starting. First it wouldn't start at all, tried jumping it, no luck. It sounded like it just couldn't turn over all the way. Left it to look for a heating blanket. Tried again and it did turn on, but the RPMs where fluctuation between 500-1000 and it sounded like it was trying get to a 1000, but couldnt. Then it threw a warning lamp and error code 2015 03 on the display. I turned it off immediately. When I turned the key to start the 12V system it initially showed the code again. Left it sit for a minute and now the code is gone. Does anybody know what the code means?

Thanks a lot in advance.

From my 1736 service manual, your 1754 may be simialr:

Fuel on the verge of gelling?

That was my first thought as well. I did have a gelling problem on my 1736 and didn't get any error codes, but maybe I caught it in time.

Looks to be something related to the ECU:
