New Re-con'd FIP and Inj's fault

[cornish rattler]

Hi guys

Had my FIP and injector's done last week on my 90 200tdi and although I drove it back from them when I picked it up and seemed to run ok I took it out today for a 90 mile round trip to Paddocks and back mainly A roads and noticed when climbing hills the engine dies when u get to full throttle and about to change gear, so had to try and change up just before it goes to die, I know it needs to go back which it will be doing on Monday but when I collected the truck up last week he said he has set the FIP to top end power and on the flat it seems to go and doesn't have this problem.

Anyone no what they do to set the FIP's up to top end power just for curiosity as I think its probable set to high and needs setting to more better setting, what do you think

Is the timing still spot on?

(or rather, have you checked that it is?)

 

[cornish rattler]

I haven't checked but I replaced the belt a couple of months ago and was spot on then so assume they have done there bit right

 

[julianf]

Im thinking somthing isnt right, and its easy enough to check the relationship between the crank and the ip.

Im lead to believe that the cam timing isnt 'as' critical, but im only going from what ive read.

I had a 300 that was fine on the flat, but lost all power going up a hill. Turned out that the woodruff key on the crank sprocket was worn, such that the whole lot was out, but really not by much at all - it was enough to totally wreck the performance though.

I get you, ok I will see what they say or do as I replaced everything when I did the belt, steel crank sprocket, idler and tensioner so I will see what they say and go from there as I am hoping to be going to the Peterborough show in 2 weeks time so if I need to do some work on it I will leave going in the 90 and do it later

It's unlikely they have disturbed the timing, there is a tool used that holds the pump sprocket in place whilst the pump is removed, I'm sure they would have used that tool? So if you check the timing (pin in FIP sprocket, crank mark on flywheel) I would think you could dismiss the belt being a tooth out for example. I would try the timing test and if it's ok then change the fuel filter which won't do any harm.

Is the boost pipe on fip properly

Cheer's john I will check tomorrow and let you no

 

[cornish rattler]

Sorry john yeah I checked the boost pipe and whilst I was in there I checked the intercooler pipes and everything looks ok so I am off next week so I will take it back then

 

[cornish rattler]

Still no joy so I took it back today to see what he thinks and he thinks its a weak fuel solenoid so he has ordered one and getting it fitted tomorrow so fingers X'ed it sorts it

If you don't mind saying, how much did it cost for your FIP recon?

No need to disturb the timing in any way to change the pump.
I have the tool, very handy, got them for a few other engines as well.

Good recons are hard to come by, and, as you say tend to be expensive.

Yippee its sorted now it was the stop solenoid being loose, I was with him whilst he was doing it and as soon as he put his spanner on it the spanner just turned so he has tightened it up and its sorted now
