right i need to crack on and sort this fookin mondeo.

Car hesitates under load after 2.5k and splutters etc, smokes when under load and is returning 30mpg on long runs,

ive turned pump up.... down.... boost up,..... down...... adjust what i guess to be some sort of advance on top of pump linkage but still does it.


any ideas before i burn it?

 

have u checked the timing had a golf that did that untill i got it checked then sorted then it was right as rain

 

as above check the timing and check the bolts going through the timing pully on the pump are in the middle of the groves not at eather end....

AND you will laugh at this one but try the deisel filter

 

timing is the obvious 1 and is what ill look at 1st, filter did cross my mind also, cars done 96k and sounds sweet enough when running just drives like a dog!!

any other input, hopefully its 1 of the above and an easy fix

 

yip try them first.....nothing much realy goes wrong with themive had loads for run abouts and i just got a mk2 td endura and it stands me at Ł200 with a years test, ford cd player, tow bar, air con.....lol

They just plod on forever.....

unless ya get a mk3 then you WILL have loads of shit with the injectors....

 

could be the pump itself or the injectors need to be cleaned

 

what year is your car?

 

im going off a mk2 with it been endura.....

 

MK2 p plate 1996? mondeo, the top of the pump is damp with diesel but no signs of where its come from, will try to get out and peg up see if timings right, and change filter, fingers crossed

 

The pump normal starts to leak out the seal behind the pump pully due to the power steering belt going hard and people tightening them right up to stop them slipping.....

 

Just thought to there is a thin metal pipe comes from round by the turbo to the bottom right of the pump to adjust the fueling when on boost.....there is a little rubber pipe join's this to the pump ya car'nt miss it as it is like a cone shape ( thinner at one end then gets bigger for pump end ) these are prone for splitting and makin the car run shit....

 

advance solenoid on the side of the pump...where the small boost pipe goes too , there very common does it surge on idle and the needle lift sensor have a do with itself also know to run on there own oil if not careful

 

i "think" the boost comp pipe is fine (checked 1st off when got car) ill check again.

 

its not the pipe its the unit
