    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    Me too. I redid the static timing today just to make sure everything is spot on. 0.90 as the book says. The new injector is a Bosch 0 432 217 279 which seems to be the correct one. I have checked the injector for correct impedance and it seems to within normal range. I also traced the wires from...

    Well that's likely my problem. Needle lift showing zero as well until revs go over 1500. Seems a bit intermittent. No fault light.

    Ok! Even showing 0 at idle for injector (timing) actual?

    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    Im using a Kingbolen Ediag. Bought it for my L320 TDV8 since it could do EAS calibration and some more. It has a separate profile just for P38 and Bosch EDC. Looks to be the same sub meny layout as the Nanocom Bosch EDC guide PDF ;Fueling, general and switching. Attached is a screenshot from one...

    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    I appreciate all the help and outside of the box thinking! Is it fair to assume that since my obd reader shows boost pressure to increase with load to about 1 bar over atmospheric pressure, that the turbo and relevant hoses are working properly? Because the reading is from the MAP connected to...

    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    I was curious and took of the top lid of the pump and looked at the potentiometer arm. It moves with spring tension but smooth thru out its travel. I was scratching my head a bit and wondering if the quantity adjustment inside would rectify my weird injector actual vs injector set point...

    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    Im sorry, I made a bad description of the noise. If I disconnect the hose from the MAF and rev the car I can hear when the boost releases when I release the accelerator. It's not a dump valve sound. Sound like my other diesels I've had in the past. Maybe more like a foooooof sound. Just...

    Thanks for the tip.I did disconnect the hose and tried but only in neutral. Did also try with the MAP plug disconnecte. No difference. I will try to run the car on the road tonight without the hose connected. My money is on the FIP but I´d love to be proven wrong on this instance..

    Hi. Thank you for your answer. I have checked all air pipes and hoses while a friend was revving the car. Looks to be in good order. I have also tried it without that big plastic pipe over the engine with the same result.

    Thanks. I have not noticed any improvements with MAF unplugged. I just noticed that my Injector Actual is 0-0.75 on idle and Injector Set Point is 1.75. That offset seems to follow the revs... Needle lift is within 40 to the RPM. It says timing mode 52% which i assume is the modulation.

    P38 2.5 low on power, can't reach max rpm

    Hi! I´m a new owner of a P38 2.5 auto 1999. I have read as many threads that I could find here before posting. I bought it as a non runner and the previous owner had replaced the MAF sensor, in-tank pump, fuel and air filters, injector number 4 to a brand new one and lastly the temp sensor in...
