A question for people who have coded injectors before TDCI....
Hi guys. I had a fault code come up on my 2003 TDCi Mondeo of P2337 (knock on cylinder 2). Have done loads of research and have been told multiple times; 'Injector needs recoding'.
I bought the Mobydic Formidable so i could program the injectors myself and all seem to have been done according to the program that states 'injector programming finished'. Unfortunately I have to take the softwares word for it as It's an 03 so I cant read the codes.
Unfortunately It wouldnt clear the DCT and was still runnig rough so I went and purchased a re-con injector and changed it. Again re-coded etc and still same thing. Therefore I thought OK maybe its another cylinder so I began to swap them around and re-coded to the position of the injectors. i have been coding as such so please confirm this is right -->
Cylinder 1 = Injector 1
Cylinder 2 = Injector 3
Cylinder 3 = Injector 4
Cylinder 4 = Injector 2
So after all of this still no luck.
*The car starts on the key first time.....
*Idles pretty good but a little lumpy.....
*When trying to rev up it coughs and splutters and takes several seconds and plooms white smoke from exhaust.....
*From about 2500 revs it will rev right up and you wouldn't know there was anything wrong. No misfire etc.....
I have been advised that after recoding I will still have management light etc until I take it for a 5 mile drive as the injectors run without pilot but it does feel to me that the car is not right! After chaging around the injectors still same fault code aswell.
Therefore that is the reason for this post. I would like to know if anyone has had this problem and recoded there injectors, if they could possibly advise.
Did you have same symptoms? Did your car run this rough after recoding? Did a drive sort it etc? What sort of drive is needed? Can I just drive up and down cul-de-sac in 2nd gear or do I need to give it some up to 5th. i have a roundabout at the end of my road and don't fancy pulling out with it spluttering everywhere. Otherwise it will be an early hours of morning test drive haha
Many thanks in advance
