would anyone know if there is a particular procedure to installing the injectors as i have recently rebuilt this motor after buying it as a non runner, locked up on cyl 1 with bent rod! couldnt find settings anywhere for the rocker shaft that charges the injectors plus it is a tad noisy compared to my dads a4 which has the same motor!

Hi there, thanks for your replies, i have replaced the maf , tried forte, only run it on bp ultima 99.9 per ltr, i use lucas fully synth oil , recent air filter too, im no expert on the pd series but the figures i have posted just cant be right? cheers Kev...

Hi everyone, well my galaxy is still gutless up until 2000 rpm, i have borrowed a snap on scanner and this is what it came up with, switching time soleinoid valves cyl 1; -38 cyl 2; 12 cyl 3; 4/5 cyl 4; 27/28 all at idle, at 2500 rpm i recorded the following cyl 1; 10 cyl 2; 25 cyl 3; -3 cyl 4; 40 , barometric pressure was fixed at 999 throughout the rev range, intake manifold pressure at idle was 989/999 and at 2000 rpm it was 1040, boost pressure at 2500 rpm desired 1122 and actual 1050, there are now no codes stored as previously i was getting intermittent communication fault with ecm, cheers Kev..

Hi Seatkid, i shal run a multimeter over it tomorrow, any ideas on the cutting out scenario? thanks Kev...

Hi Seatkid, a friend of a friend of mine who is a master technician at a ford dealership suggested it was maybe this unit so he got me one and he also got me a printout of the vac pipe layout so i didnt stuff it up so i am certain that is ok, and the voltage has not been checked but the unit is dumping boost pressure so i would assume it is electrically ok?

Hi Nikpv, thanks for your reply, yes on a previous scan it had logged in the fault codes intermittent injector wiring fault on number 1 cyl, to which i replaced the wiring loom inside cyl head and cleared the codes, the maf has been changed, its a real pain in the butt,....

Hi there, i have stumbled upon this website in my desperate search for a solution to my mind numbing headache that is my car, i will start at the beginning, i bought the car as a non runner which had locked up on no1 cylinder, bending the con-rod, it was said that the sump filled with diesel through an injector? anyway i replaced the con-rod, shells, piston rings, cam shells on all 4 cylinders and replaced no1 piston, after rebuilding there was a definite lack of power so i had it plugged in and it showed a boost fault, so i preceded to replace the boost control vac unit and had my turbo overhauled, now there is slightly more power but it is still underpowered, top speed of 80 mph and gutless until around 2000 rpm, i then tried a plug in tuning chip on the fuel temp circuit, it then became a little more lively but still gutless below 2000 rpm, i have also changed the maf by the way, the car also cuts out occasionally when starting from cold then runs rough for around 30 seconds and drives for around 1/4 of a mile before cutting out again, after about a minute of cranking it will then start and drive on, until the next time, after pulling my hair out i decided to take the car to Delphi fuel injection specialists for a diagnostic, well they had the car for 2 days and stated that the power loss was because the boost control switch was dumping the pressure through the vac pipe exhaust on the inner wing, couldnt explain why though? and the cutting out was most probably the fuel pump? but on the bright side he said there was nothing wrong on the injection side! please is there anyone out there who can help me with this? my wife is going mad as i sold our family car (1999 renault espace 2.2td) to buy this headache, if anyone is local to liverpool and wants to have a go at fixing it i would be more than happy to pay you! cheers Kev....
