I'd welcome thoughts on this as it's got me stumped....
My tourneo has 135k on the clock and doesn't use oil. Will do 84mph on the flat but feels stiffled and slows on a decent hill.
She's done 50k on biodiesel but started to slow on my last batch, am now on third full tank of diesel and no change.
I've changed the torque sleeve though it looked good.
Done the leak off mod, new fuel filter (twice) and lift pump.
I did the egr valve, cable tied intake and fitted pipercross filter plus injection pump pressure mod (1.25 turns) when I got her and she's never missed a beat.
The torque sleeve and piston where clean as a whistle, no shiny bits indicating wear and the throttle pin moves ok - lifts the plunger all the way up.
With the pressure at 2.5 turns, power is back from halfway up the rev range (like a weak turbo kicking in).
Loath to change injectors yet, no rattles from tappets. New cam belt too (timing spot on), no difference.
Cracked injectors open, no air locks and fuel cap breaths ok.
So, unless the piston spring has stiffened up I'm stumped!!!
