P38A Diesel Injector No.4

Your not gonna like the answer. Is bit more than an injector

Looks like wasted my money on pump I bought that means the old pump I had it had the same symptoms. It will be on the drive for another year then .

Don't why I ****ing bother honestly.

I worked my back side off on this car now this. Joke.

Anyone recommend place can get it inspected and repaired please?

@Datatek looks like I got ripped by that Mike Skit as seems Quantity servo is knakered on my FIP.

Exchange injection pump.

You had it off skitt, there’s the answer then.

D Bob is the guy to get one off. No one I know has needed a 2nd unit, they go like stink and he’s half the price of a cheapy.

Before you condemn the FIP, you need to double check with proper diagnostics that the modulation is right.

Yea will have to find someone. If the modulation is correct. What could the issue be?

If the modulation is correct, sad to say you are in for a recon FIP I would guess

If that's the case. What is the issue the pump is not doing?

I had this power drop with the old FIP aswell so having 2 pumps doing same thing is bad luck I guess.

I do not know the answer. Could be something else, I have been playing with one where the power drops off, it's had a reconditioned FIP and it's exactly the same, no faults recorded but several things go out of kilter on live data when it goes wrong.
You really need to get it on good diagnostics before laying out more cash.

The fault is the position or feedback wiper on the quantity servo momentarily losing contact with it's track. Eventually the engine will start to stall when low speed maneuvering or when engine is loaded whilst throttle pot is below 9% at idle.

Nutall street think you told me?
Shouldn’t be hard to track down, guys a legend.
You could check your static is still in range, won’t cure it but gave my FIP second lease of life. Usually when it setting the mil lamp off its had it.

Yeah will have to save up for one.

You manage to workout what the fault could be with the one you are working on?

Manual when taking foot off throttle to change gear or automatic coming out of cruise control flicks MIL lamp on if quantity servo is on its way out, that is the first sign. At low engine speeds for instance idle throttle pot below 9% when contact is lost ECU drops emergency stop valve to stop engine. But it should start up again straight away, usually increasing idle speed slightly will stave it off for a while.
