i recently bought a 2004 connect 1.8tdci

after a week of pottering around all being fine, i took it on a job witch included a motor way stretch.
after around 15 miles the glow plug light started to flash and the engine cut out. after a couple of minutes on the hard shoulder i tried to start the van and all was well for another few miles. after eventually getting to the job i realise that, The van only does it when the engine is at running temperature and when you hit a slighty uphill. I had the van plugged in at my local garage and it came back as a fuel pressure sensor. Can anyone please shed some light on this problem as i have had a number of suggestions but none that are certain to cure it. I have listed the suggestions below from the garage it was plugged in.

fuel rack
fuel pump
fuel filter
one or all of the injectors

I am in need of some direction as money is tight at the min and dont want to spend the money on the wrong thing

thanks

 

Really need to know the exact code P**** to advise.

Other than that it will require fuel injector leak off tests, and fuel pressure tests on live-data to determine the fault.

Can't just go guessing at stuff and throwing expensive parts at it.

First cheapest thing I would do is change the fuel filter though.

Been known to cure many faults on TDCIs.

 

Hi thanks for your reply, I have taken it back to the garage and the faultr code is po251.
injector pump fuel metering control A malfunction

 

That usually means that the pump can not control the fuel pressure, and mostly is due to injector(s) leaking off excess amounts, as above, needs fuel pressure tests and fuel leak off tests on the injectors. Possibly the inlet metering valve on the pump.

If you do a search on this forum for 'p0251' you'll find a lot of info about it.

 

I have a 2004 connect wont start I have got these fault codes
p0409 and p2288 need help cant work without it lol
