Hi all, got a 96 2.5 diesel P38,
since i've had it its had the intermittant overrun injector light come on, but had kept driving it since and have just adapted my driving style to avoid it happening much.
it seems low on power in general (although i havent driven a different one to compare) and am planning to get pump timing checked soon.
i have read differing opinions on the injector light coming on, some recon it will be no4 injector and some say pump, was planning to re-nozzle all 6 injectors soon but on my way home today it hiccupped violently a couple of times and cut out when i let it drop to idle, it re-started and carryed on driving and hiccupped a few more times but seemed down on power, then the injector warning light came on constantly. i tryed driving up my lane (Very steep and off-road) but it didnt have the power to make it up so had to park at the bottom. had a quick glance under the bonnet but nothing obvious. under no load it revs cleanly and freely, and is boosting ok (boost gauge recently fitted) but under load it struggles to even pull away on a hill. i'm thinking number 4 injector has stopped pulsing at all and it has gone into limp mode? but i have no way of reading codes at the moment, and am away from monday morning 'till next sunday eve so can't do any diagnostics on it this week, so was looking for peoples opinions. also is there anyway of manually reading fault codes e.g bridging connections to get flash codes?
cheers
