TD5 engine starts and sounds good but no power
#11
This is an interesting one. What exactly are the symptoms? Does it feel reasonably normal until hiway speed or is it dead across the entire band? Have you got an OBDll reader that provides the codes? Sounds to me like you have hit most of the problem areas, although the fuel pressure regulator can provide some of the problems you describe. I have never personally heard of an ECU failing, but it is possible. Can you borrow one from someone and just plug it in as a test, cause they are not cheap... IF it is the ECU, can you have it remapped anywhere around you?
Can you borrow a waste gate solenoid and try it out? if that has failed, it will give EXACTLY the symptoms you describe.
Finally, check (replace) the copper washers and seals on the injectors, they can also cause headaches.
By the way, my Td5 is purring like a kitten, gives me 31 mpg, and when I rev it there is no smoke - but it cost me some bucks to get it that way, mostly of the variety of what I am describing. I am very interested in this problem, and would love to know what it is.
