Title: Espace 2.2 DCI cutting out under load Post by: JLA_DK on April 22, 2015, 08:37:39 pm Hi
I hope someone can give me some hints in finding the problem with my car. It started to stop the engine under load, I can drive it with a very light foot without problems. Sometimes it will show the zig-zag symbol before cutting out, but mostly it will just power off the engine. I can start it again without problems. I have just cleaned the EGR valve, it was completely blocked with black stuff, but it did not make any difference. I have tried to disconnect the MAF sensor, it showed no errors and drove like before and still cut out under load. I have had error log read by garage and all they can see is that there is a problem with the diesel supply. They have checked the low-power pump and it works OK... I have just fitted a new fuel filter so that should be OK too. The garage thinks that it is either the high-power fuel pumpe or a valve inside the pump ? Or one of the diesel injectors. Maybe anyone have experienced this before and have some ideas or things that need to be checked ?

After replacing the defective injector it looks to be OK again ;D Hopefully there will be no problems when i test it later today... So, if anyone experience that the motor stops completely during load, then have the injectors checked.

It is a well known fault.

Everything works as normal again after changing the faulty injector :) |
