Help please with Connect problem

[Connected]

Hi, I have a swb 90ps LX connect.
Just before Xmas last year I was on my way home when the motor glitched then the glow plug warning light came on, I only had 4 miles to go so I carried on. the next day I started it up and all seemed well untill it got hot then under hard exseleration it would go into limp mode, if you turn off the ignition and on again then it's ok as long as you do not rev above 3000 standing still it will rev to 4750 all day and not miss a beat. I have been told that it is ether injectors, pump or lot's of other things that cost a lot of money how can this be because at this time it had only done 39000 it has now done 41000 and the problem is the same as it was it has not got any worse. The self diagnostic test says none. I have a gut feeling it may be a sensor but who knows. It did pass an MOT in this state so the imissions must be OK.
Please if there is any body out there that can put there finger on this problem it would be appreciated so, (it is my only means of transport) thanks in advance Colin.

Have you had the codes read or just the self test via the dash

Hi coconut,
I have done the one on the dash myself, I also had it done by a workshop with a hand held unit, they said that the line pressure was 2000 at tickover and 12000 at full throttle but no codes showed on the diagnostic. Colin

Today I went to my local Ford dealer and asked them if there was any recall on my van, they came back to me and said there were none outstanding. I put in a order for a cam sensor and plug which cost me £68.00 to be collected on wed next week. I also bought a fuel filter. Fitted the filter, got the air out, started it up rattle, rattle clouds of smoke, took it for a test drive, after about 2 miles it all went smooth. Now for the acid test will it run OK when it got hot YES YES YES it did not miss a beat full boar in all the low gears so I will be up for a refund on Tue.
OK smack on the wrist maybe I should have changed it sooner but if I had let the local garage try and sort it out it would have cost me a lot of money.
Before I was made redundant in 91 I worked on a farm, I worked on diesel engines inc rebuilds and never had a problem but since the computer age it has gone OTT it is not hands on any more.
Anyway lesson learned.
Colin

Glad to hear you got it sorted

Tdci fuel filters are much lower microns than a normal Di, which it why I prefer to stick to the older service schedule and change them every service
