I sounds like this bus was sold on due to a worn pump? That's my .11cents.

I agree. I'm not sure how much I would trust a second-hand one without it being refurbished either.
I agree, just a shame they aren't run of the mill anymore. The latest pumps are below 500€ refurbished... The older stuff over here is at least twice that
Copy of RAVE by following this link. It has everything you need to know on setting the static timing. If changing the pump over you need a special tool to hold the pump sprocket and chain in place.

Throttle response is unusual, all the action is in the last 30% of peddle movement

Idle can only be checked or adjusted with diagnostics such as Nanocom.

Wammers told me they would fit but I’d have to change sensor wiring. Plan was to pull a complete set out of a EGR one, not mismatch, although slightly higher pressure probably means nothing to a not-new injector. Not gonna change to plastic manifold but later ones get extra bhp from somewhere and for sake of pulling something off a scrapper
Throttle actuator playing up??

Not when new. Mine was sluggish and I guessed it always would be underpowered and need chipping. Few break downs later and new parts (mostly cleaning up originals as I go) doesn’t need chipping - itl shift if provoked with little more than a good dose of tlc. I will get more power out of it as there are still some issues but got plenty for what I need handles off-road and motorways easily enough aside much newer, lighter and aerodynamic cars.

Hi my dear friends
As the most of you said, The FIP was the problem for the most issues I faced, I changed the FIP to the used one and was ok, only I noticed that the car is vibrating some times even when it's stopped, I didn't use the injectors witch they came with it, only I used the no.4 injector which comes with the sensor. Any advice for the vibrating issue?

Vibrating - need more info...
Is it vehicle vibrating or part of it? Where do you hear/feel it most? Does it tick over smoothly and at what revs?

If you mean it has a rough idle that could be a sticky injector.

Put a whole bottle of inj cleaner in half a tank, get it up to temperature and give it a blast down motorway, get the revs up a little
Watch the crud come out the back!

Hi RangeRoller
As I feel, it's in the FIP itself maybe. not sure, but when I changed it, the vibration came.

The injectors are the same, I didn't change them. but do you think it's better to put the injectors witch they came with FIP?
I would have thought that just adds another variable. However, Wammers is the expert. I am no expert, just a tinkerer who has had some issues owning one of these. I'd go with what Wammers says although I am suspicious it started only after the FIP changed.
Have you got an automotive stethoscope? Or a long screwdriver to transfer the vibration to your head? Can you narrow down where the vibration is coming from using it?

inj cleaner May free up a sticky injector. Did you set static timing correctly? Can you check modulation with diagnostic?
Wammers is who you need

If the engine is running rough at idle open each injector in turn and note any difference. If you open an injector and the engine is worse that is ok. If you open one and there is no change that is the duffer. It could be a sticky injector or a leaking delivery valve.

Thank you, dear, I will take a look for advice, by the way, I don't have diagnoses tool.

You may not need diagnostic when you have a Wammers
You could check the LZ map see if any of us around here do - they may come and do it for you for a small bribe of tea/cake/beer
Do as the boss says and report back, take it from there and she’ll be running sweet in no time
