The car idles perfectly now with the Bosch reconditioned injectors and second hand crank sensor. However, it is misfiring and smoking at about 2,200 rpm. I’m wondering whether the crank position sensor is again faulty or not quite seated correctly. The strange thing is that I had a similar...

I can’t be 100% certain either way sorry. I did fit the first crank sensor in a bit of a rush though so it’s quite possible that it wasn’t fitted correctly.

Thanks for all your help. I have just replaced the crank position sensor again and the car is running fine. It appears that the first replacement was a dud!!

Here’s a video of what is happening now. I’m just touching the accelerator slightly. The car is revving itself then cutting out or carrying on hunting.

As soon as I press the accelerator it cuts out. If I’m very gentle I can get revs to rise to just under 1000 before it cuts out. Sometimes it starts “hunting” and if I press pedal then, it makes no difference to engine speed.

Ok. This is my idle data. And this is a capture of just before it cuts out at 1000 revs. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your reply. Do you know what the LP and HP pressures should be? I guess it could be LP pump or filter then.

So the o-rings in the fuel press regulator could still be giving me the problem then? I’m plugging it into diagnostics in the morning so hopefully will know more then. Thanks for your help

I have checked wiring and replaced crank sensor but will certainly check again. I was considering replacing o-rings in the fuel pressure regulator. Do you know if low pressure trips the fuel pump relay too?

I didnt replace the sensor when I replaced the overlay about 18 months ago. It has been running fine. I'm going to run a diagnostic on it hopefully tomorrow so I'll get live data then.

Thanks. I'll give that a try first thing tomorrow. Was yours able to idle ok?

Thanks for your reply. They look ok. I have previously fitted the wiring loom overlay. I guess the sensor could have failed but wouldn't it bring up an engine management light?

I'm desperate for some help here. My 2005 freelander TD4 will start and idle fine but as soon as you try to increase the revs, it cuts out. The day before the problem started, I had removed, overhauled and re-fitted the starter motor. I'm sure this is just a coincidence. I have taken the starter...
