glow plug light flashing,losing power

[paul2012]

quick update ,had leak off test done and 2 injectors filled bottles slightly more than the other 2 ,took them out and gave them to a diesel guy to test and clean ,he did them and showed me they were working much better,vans still going into limp fooking dick mode really starting to hate this van ,back on scanner same codes came up ,went into live data thing and maf sensor didnt seem to do anything at all when van was revved up ... has anyone ever actually cured these tdci connects with these fault codes or do we just spend a load of hard earned on them then torch them ...rant over any help would b nice

P0622 Generator Field Terminal Circuit - ALTERNATOR
U1262 SCP (J1850) Communication Bus Fault


Injectors with excessive leak off require refurbishment (New internal parts etc) - Cleaning them will NOT solve the issue

As posted previously.....

Glow plug light flashing & engine going into limp mode. With following DTC's (error codes) stored.

P0251 Injection Pump Fuel Metering Control
P1211 Injector Control Pressure Higher/Lower Than Desired (engine running)

It will either be injector fault or fuel pump. Or in some cases both
Injector leak off test will confirm if injectors are at fault. - If 1 or 2 are faulty, it's best to replace all 4

Check diesel filter for swarf - If present, fuel pump has worn out.
Replacement fuel pump & injectors are required.

Above is a common problem effecting 2003-2006 Transit Connect 90ps TDCI's

P2291 Injector Control Pressure Too Low - Engine Cranking - Possibly blocked fuel filter.
Most cases when engine fails/difficult to start - worn out fuel pump.

ok Paul thanks for reply,my van starts 1st thing every day hot or cold ,so hopefully my pump is ok ,i didnt see any signs of swarf in old filter ,do you think second hand injectors could be a winner , bit of a stupid question really as the ones i buy could be as bad as the ones already fitted ,just trying to fix it as cheaply as poss as the van does not warrant spending a lot on it

anyone know what code my engine will be or how i can find out as i have found a complete focus head f9da code ..will injectors fit mine.. the head is from a 52 focus ,cheers

2003-2006 Connect TDCI 90ps Engine code HCPA.

Injectors from a Focus mk1 1.8 TDCI engine code F9DA will fit.

Although injectors will require programming to PCM

thanks Paul,my pal that has been helping me sort connect is saying the injector number has to be the same and unfortunately the injectors are still in the head that is for sale so the guy cant give me the numbers

[haveajiggle]

anyone know for definite ,if i buy 2nd hand guaranteed injectors do they have to have the same number on them as my original,i know they have to be programmed ,cheers

If the head is off a F9DA then the injectors are the same, If its F9DA it'll stamped on the head

look at the 5th pic here:

thanks

had a set of4 guaranteed good injectors fitted and programmed today ,still going into limp mode ,double checked fuel filter for swarf nothing present ,any thing else i could start looking at

[liteace]

How do you know the injectors are 100% have they been tested?

Get codes read again if it's still a fuel pressure problem and the injectors are 100% ok then it's going to be pump

[haveajiggle]

Yes injectors were tested so it's looking like pump then but filter been checked twice for swarf and it's spotless

My filter was also spotless but the pump was buggered

bit of an unexpected development guys...had another leak off test today 3 injectors perfect hardly any leak off ,the 4th one filled the bottle like it was being poured in ,what could have gone wrong have i got dirt on the injector would that cause that

Used injectors, tested ????????? there you go, who tested them ??

[haveajiggle]

the guy i bought them off is a retired diesel mechanic he worked for a large diesel company in my area and now hes retired he does a little bit from home ,has all the correct testing equipment ,the other 3 i got from him are perfect ,he just aint the kind of guy to shaft someone ,im just trying to get a bit of info incase i could have done anything wrong,before i go back to him ,he did stress to me cleanliness is very important,but when fitting there was a little bit of crap around the injector bores
