Looks like I may have found the issue - air getting into the fuel line at the union with the injection pump. I’d re-used the fuel pipe from the filter to the IP when I refitted it after the recon work and it clearly wasn’t up to the job. Not bad enough to stop the car running and driving at...
.. just been out on another test run - same symptoms and interestingly, same OBD error codes :
ECM-0002 Fuel volume control valve - Faulty signal
ECM-089 Fuel pressure control valve : Faulty signal
The fuel volume control valve is attached to the injector pump - though I'm struggling to find...
Thanks Greg, Paskal. Still experiencing quite serious issues - to the extent that I may have to abandon my plans to take the car to Europe the week after next which is a real shame...
As a reminder :
- Fuel injection pump and fuel injectors completely refurbished by the same guy who did...
Thanks Greg
Just come back after the logging run. Car was seriously black smoking under any power - plumes of it coming out when you floored it. Clearly an overfuelling (?) issue..
We did a couple of 3rd gear pulls with wide open throttle and repeatedly at about 3,100rpm the engine struggled...
Thanks - I stand corrected.. I have a S40 II so obviously won’t have this issue.
HP injector pump has been reconditioned (by the same guy that did yours) - as have injectors.
Fuel distribution line (from filter to injector pump) is original - so one scenario might be air bubbles being drawn...
Thanks Greg - I definitely plan to get up to Leeds though this will need to wait until after the Summer. I’m taking the car on a road trip across Europe in as week’s time and don’t have time to travel up there before we head off..
The car has a stage 3 HDI Tuning map - and runs really well up...
Can anyone recommend a diesel tuner / rolling road in the Bristol area? I’m running out of time to get the car properly sorted and am having a few sensor / fuelling related issues with the stage 3 map that I’m using..
On a separate note - Induction System Upgrades. I’m currently running the stock S40 air cleaner and pipework from the air intake duct back to the (cylinder type) air filter assembly. Silicon pipe upgrades from the air cleaner onwards.
Thinking about how this can be improved - any suggestions...
I’m going with an HDI Tuning remap - which is configured around an upgraded fuel pressure sensor. Sent the ECU off yesterday - looking forward to seeing the results..
.. I quoted the wrong part number above (this is the uprated MAP sensor). The fuel rail pressure sensor Bosch part no is 059130758 - any help with the pin out schema welcome..!
Fuel Pressure Sensor Upgrade - Pin out schema.
Hi everyone, I’ve finally got the S40 into a state where I’m ready to have the ECU remapped. Ahead of this I’ve installed an updated 3.1 bar MAP sensor and now want to install an uprated fuel rail pressure sensor (Bosch part no : 0281 006 059).
I...
