P38 Nanocom EDC fault code?

feyniriel · Jun 22, 2024

I was checking out fault codes on my 1999 P38 and in the EDC section it said:

Injector timing value out of expected range
Type: invalid fault, major fault, logged, intermittent
RPM = 77
Inj. Flow = 70
Occurance = 13

That's the only fault code it has, after clearing some old ones a few days ago. I don't have much knowledge about engines, what could this mean?

Is the car programmed at all and
does it run OK otherwise?

What does Nanocom show for the needle lift sensor?

I don't have a Nanocom so I cannot tell you exactly, but with the engine running look at the EDC live data, you should see the needle lift sensor, modulation and a number of other parameters, post a screen shot.

It does tell you in the Nanocom EDC guide.

This is what I'm seeing in the general section of EDC menu while the engine is idling.

Do screenshots of all the Inputs, and then see what @Datatek says !! I know almost nothing about diseasels (not even how to spell it).

Idle is a bit high although not a real issue.

Datatek · Jun 28, 2024

It looks like the idle speed has been increased to cover an other issue. There will be other screen shots showing inputs live data,

When engine is up to normal temperature it should idle at 750 rpm unless someone has played with diag to increase it or had the top of the FIP off and not put it back properly.

750 +/- 50 mine idle at 800 rpm, less vibration.

800 is better , mine rumbles like buggery at 750

Also find that when the aircon kicks in it sounds like the engine is going to stall

may actually knock it back up too 800

Mine seems smoother around the 800 mark

It seems a common thing then, yep I'm going to lift mine back up

well, at some point

Really? Mine's fine, although it is a little slow for a second after the aircon kicks in before it responds and gets back to 750 rpm.
