Missfire and rough running advice plea








Hi im still having a nightmare with the d3
I had 6 new injectors fitted and it ran ok for 5 miles then missfire back
Ive checked all the usual culprits namely
New fuel filter
Maf
Map sensor
Checked injector wiring / no leaks
New battery
Alternator fine
New clutch and dmf
Egrs are blanked and butterfly valve removed
The ecu has been checked and stated as fine by an ecu specialistk

The injector values are all over the show even with a new set of injectors.

Anyone got ANY ideas on what could cause this missfire and send a wrong signal to the injectors
Could it be a sensor?
Would a failing fuel pump /pumps give erratic injector values that shift from injector to injector?
Car drives 90% once moving but shakes and sometimes stalls at idle, also after stalling its a swine to restar with accelerator making no difference to revs until it comes alive again

Really appreciate some input as have exhausted forum and google searches and no EML to date

Only listed faults relaye to injectors from iid tool but this was the same with old injectors and brand new replacements?

Been in touch with Flack who can hopefully come across in few weeks but really want some ideas to look at as car has been unusable for 3 weeks now and is killing the bank account!



















Thanks

It might be worth checking the crank position sensor. Firstly just check the torx bolt is not loose/missing.
Its fiddly to get at as it hidden by the turbo.

Thanks Thamesd3
Would this cause the injector values to fluctuate all over the place and cause the missfire?
Where abouts around the turbo so i can locate and check? Is there a test that i can do to if its failing?
Havent had any Lights on dash or codes off iid to suggest this may be a cause to date though

Here is a picture of the sensor on a tdv6 Jag which is the same.(flywheel removed)

If its faulty you would get an error code but if its just loose you could get erratic running.

I don't think this is a crank sensor issue but a fuel issue.
Crank sensor does not have anything to do with fuel pressure.
I don't know what the fuel rail pressure should be, but if the live data fuel pressure is near enough to what the standard value is, then high pressure pump should be ok. (Just checked and yours looks ok as it should be just over 3000 psi at idle - but you need to know live v theoretical at about 2000rpm just to discount HP pump).
The injector values are all over the place which, to me, indicate injector issues.

Were the injectors new/recon and what was the reason for changing?

I would do a injector leak off test to see if it is injectors again.
Did you check fuel and filter when doing replacement as the fuel may be contaminated or even wrong fuel - smell to see if any petrol present.

If you need a leak-off kit let me know as i have one.

I have read oil temperature sensor (screws into side of the sump) can cause idle misfires, once I read that I changed mine as preventative maintenance.

+1 For changing the Oil temp sensor its a known issue to causing rough running.

I'm thinking along these lines too. Weak LPFP/HPFP, especially if it struggles to start after cutting out Thumbs Up

Thanks for the recent replies chaps👍
Car back with the garage who put new injectors in
When i got it back a few days ago it drove spot on for a few miles then starting missing and got progressivey worse after 30 miles to a point that it stalled and was difficult to restart.
As it appears brand new injectors didnt cure it im wanting these out and old ones back in to get a refund on these
Garage will continue to investigate and i will discuss the lpfp and hpfp as mentioned above
With regards oil temp sensor, i got a temperature value reading off the iid which corresponded to coolant temp approximately, would this suggest that sensor is functioning ok and to ignore this as a possible fault?
Hoping that the garage will get to the route failure and the tech is being very good with me but if not then hopefully a reimbursement of injectors and get the d3 back so that Flack can assess.👍 just have to give the garage an opportunity to continue given theyve had £2k+ and havent cured it but a big chunk of this is likely to be regunded from the new injectors being removed

As the sensor is so cheap and easy to change I would just fit it anyway.
Be interesting to see how you get on with the refund on the injectors as they wont be able to return them.

Well if they won't refund, I'm sure you'll get a decent amount for them on here.

Going back to basics a bit ... New sensors fitted and it was ok for a short while then fault returned. I know you've listed new filter as being fitted but is it possible it's crud that was in the pipes being pushed into the new injectors?

Dean i was told that the fuel has been checked and was ok
I am also suggesting that the tank is dropped to check in tank pump filter and condition to permanently rule out
The car ran perfect for maybe 20 miles after new injectors fitted but missfire came back with a vengeance soon after. Seems worse the warmer it gets and struggles to maintain idle. After stalling the accelerator is non responsive and comes back to life after a few minutes running like a bag if spanners on its own
No fault codes other than injector codes showing on the iid.

I dont think it will end up being LPFP apparently our car will start and run fine (not under load) with fuse pulled e.g. no LPFP. Those injector values are really bad for a new set of injectors. I wonder if you have a faulty ECU (controls our injectors) or lack of compression. All the bad HPFP ive seen on here at least seem to be either injectors wont fire due to lack of pressure (wont start) or car runs ok but stalls out at high rpm with DTCs. If your kms are low compression issues would be unlikely I’m thinking it could be your ECU not sure if you can swap em easily with ours maybe try source one to borrow or test from one the techs on here? Good luck!
