Hello,

Does anyone have the fuel injector pump tools that I could borrow please? I need to remove it, but don't want to pay the circa £150 to but the tools for one job...I can repay in anyway that you want!

:)

Why are you removing it ?

I've got a fault...nothing stored in the BECM.

As i drive it, if I let the throttle off completely the check engine light flicks up and the throttle is un responsive for one 'push'. if I take my foot off the throttle again and then put it on, then the fault disappears....It might be the potentiometer too, but on a recent check of levels, it said the fuel flow value was out of range...
I'd welcome other suggestions...I heard about the fuel injector leak off pipes recently, thinking about replacing them too...

Fuel faults are not stored in the BECM they are stored in the ECM ECU. What diag did you use to read faults? Most likely a fuel quantity servo feedback problem, worn feedback pot. This cannot be cured unless a new unit is fitted. Which basically means pump needs refurb and calibration. Not an home job.
 
Tools needed to remove pump are, sprocket holder for removal. Then for re timing. Locking pin, DTI and adaptor. Nothing like £150.00 for those.
 
The lift-pump test is quick and easy. If it is the lift-pump acting up it'll be way cheaper. After that things get more expensive.

If the worse comes to the worse I have the tools if you can get to Buckinghamshire.
 
Worn out injection pump.
Sometimes worn timing chains give funny faults, but then timing modulation and start of injection usually goes nuts..

Worn chains increase the amount of modulation needed to correct incorrect static. The fuel feed out of range maybe just that, very high timing modulation with no further correction available. The OP could try retiming static and cam timing but i would also be looking at chains.
 
Got a simulat problem on mine and have timing chain rattle. Looks like a new experience is coming my way doing the timing chains. any ideas how hard it is too do?
 
It's not hard, just lots of dismantling.
Timing locking kit is a must. I use Jonnesway one - it's cheap and good quality.
Also new center bolts for crankshaft and camshaft needed, as they are one time use only.
It's a bit risky and irritating if you don't remove head.
