Hi guys. I've got problems with my Engine on the P38A 2.5DSE 1999. So here goes for the long post..... sorry......:yawn:
Having done lots of searching & fixed many things thanks to this forums members comments & posts, I finally need some help.
I bought the RR 2.5 DSE several weeks ago & had cold start issues & poor performance (not pulling) etc. So far I've change Glow PLugs (which improved cold start), changed the MAS (as I found this unplugged), changed oil, filters, fuel/Air filters, Leak off pipes, new vaccum pipes etc ...... and more. I got slight oil burning smell when running but found breather on Cam cover sucking loads into intake - seems like common prob.:blah:
The cheap Fleebay MAS packed in after 1 week (getting refund), Engine running hit & miss; somedays great, other-days no power. On a good day it shifts..
Sometimes I switch on & get the typical GEARBOX FAULT with 2000 rpm; cycle ignition & ok again. I have new battery, cleaned engine bay earths & some connectors.
I bought Nanocom Evolution2 to work faults out but still left bermused. The EDC manual says that the engine flywheel sensor crank speed rpm & injector 4 Needle lift Sensor RPM should be pretty much the same. My data shows that the needle lift sensor RPM is not moving but fixed at 3753.75, as opposed to the crank RMP 728.00 (which increase with speed). I thought I'd found problem & ordered/fitted new Inj4 Needle lift sensor (£180 from Island 4x4); but still got same results - no movement in RPM on LIft Sensor data.. I'm interested to find out what other peoples data says on their rig using the Nano2 EDC. I've checked cabling, but everything looks ok. Is it my ECU???, is it a problem with Nano2???
I've posted pics of data below.
Also, (before clearing) when I first plugged Nano2 in I read the faults:
NANOCOM - EDC.APP - EDC faults file
AIR FLOW SENSOR INVALID VALUE METER INVALID VALUE
Type: TOO LOW,LOGGED,CURRENT,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 32
WATER TEMP = 83
OCCURRANCE = 15
---
ENGINE IMMOBILISER LINK FAULT
Type: TOO HIGH,TOO LOW,HIGH CIRCUIT,LOGGED,CURRENT,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 32
WATER TEMP = 206
OCCURRANCE = 15
---
CONTROL UNIT INTERNAL FAULT
Type: INVALID FAULT,LOGGED,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 0
WATER TEMP = 74
OCCURRANCE = 9
---
BOOST PRESSURE INVALID VALUE
Type: INVALID FAULT,MAJOR FAULT,LOGGED,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 0
INJ. FLOW = 0
OCCURRANCE = 9
After clearing faults initially I'm now constantly getting:-
NANOCOM - EDC.APP - EDC faults file
INVALID FAULT
Type: INVALID FAULT,LOGGED,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 33
UNKNOWN = 89
OCCURRANCE = 13
---
ENGINE IMMOBILISER LINK FAULT
Type: TOO HIGH,TOO LOW,HIGH CIRCUIT,LOGGED,CURRENT,INTERMITTENT
RPM = 33
WATER TEMP = 210
OCCURRANCE = 13
---
I've had no immobiliser problems ever, so dont know what this faut means. So, is it my ECU, wiring harness.....>?/
I get unknow faults on EAS & Engine ECU.
Any help would be much appreciated.
