2.0 x type cutting out

[Italiot]

Hi I'm new to the owners club as I have only recently bought my x type 2.0d classic estate

My car is a 54 plate with 178000 miles on recently serviced all filters and Oil,new inter cooler hose,new tyres brakes and discs I got the car running as it should a couple of weeks after the intercooler hose replacement started a long journey just filled up after about 7-8 mile of heavy traffic started to accelerate on to the motorway when the car when in to limp mode but when I turned engine off and back on it would reset the accelerating between 2000-3000 rpm it would happen again I had to drive home using my gears trying not to put it under load so it wouldn't cut out no codes showing car sat for one week till I had the time to look at it got given some advise from a friend that we needed to take some of the fuel out of the car to be sure it wasn't related to the full tank the only way we were able to get the fuel out was from the fuel filter after the car started ok but we started to here a buzzing sound from around the engine car stop had to get jump leads out to get the engine to attemp start opened nuts slightly on injectors went to turn over fuel came out of each one as we though there may be air in the line closed all nuts back can get car to start then it revs up while starting after between 3-5 second the engine cuts out glow plug icon flashes up been on this for about a week now I finally managed to retrieve a code today from my OBD reader code was

P0251 generic

Injector pump fuel metering control A

(Cam / rotor / injector)

I have replaced the camshaft sensor today on advise but still failing to get the engine to keep running has anyone come across this issue before of have any advise to resolve this problem as can't afford to take car to the garage so have to do all the work myself any help on advise would be much appreciated thanks

Also I'm looking for a OBD software to use any recommendations

Hi Aaron, and welcome to the club.

 

I am not an engineer, but I am wondering if the fuel system needs cleaning.  I am a fan of preventative maintenance, and periodically - about every 3,000 miles - put in some Wynns diesel engine cleaner --  you can get it from Halfords for about £7.

 

I have just put some into my son's 2.0 litre Diesel X Type Sport Estate, with 92k on the clock.

 

These engines - Ford Duratorq - do last a long time, often well over 200k.

 

Good luck,

 

Peter.

Hi funny enough about 10 miles before the problem started it just a full tank and STP injector cleaner which to my understanding is the same stuff but I not sure if it has too much air in it as we were trying to empty the tank to rule out the cleaner but only managed to get 1/4 tank out then car starts the cuts out instead of staying running as did before

I think it could be and air lock, Aaron.

 

STP is the same stuff, I am sure.

What's the best way to release air on these as I can't find a bleed valve

Hi Aaron,

 

I am no expert on modern cars, but I did it on an Austin Allegro [not mine, I hasten to say] many years ago by disconnecting the fuel supply to the carburettor [sU] and turning the engine over letting the fuel run into a container.

 

Regards,

 

Peter.

Does anyone know how much it would cost to get injector plus pump replaced or individual price
