Morning All, I have posted about this on the ‘fault code’ thread but the issue is still rumbling on, hoping someone has resolved similar and the thread catches a few more eyes.
We are getting sporadic E083 error codes which mean open circuit on injector number 1. This to be precise:
Injector Solenoid Valve Cylinder Number 1 Fault – Current below normal or open circuit.Injector Solenoid Valve Cylinder Number 1 Fault – Current below normal or open circuit.No information.
When it does it it will fire on three as I guess the ecu shuts that one down. A simple off and on cycle will resolve it mostly but sometimes it comes right back. The problem seems to occur quite sporadically but it has occurred to us this morning that it tends to do it when damp (heavy mist last night/this morning and it rained the other when it did it half a dozen times in 20minutes). We took the rubber cover off the engine to look at the plug and wiggle the loom whilst itwayrunning, all seemed clean, appeared to be a good connection and didn’t cause it to miss. It ran for two weeks no problems after this. It ran for 5weeks no problems after I checked the lower plug that goes into the box on the side of the engine, was very clean here too, I was expecting a td5 like oil migration issue but no.
So is this an injector problem or loom issue do you think. Going to cost some to replace both and I’m running tight at the minute (when aren’t I?!) but I would have thought a bad injector would throw the code more randomly and regularly.
I thought about doing a cut and shut on the loom with two new wires to that injector but something tells me that’s perhaps not going to be as easy and clean as it sounds.
Ideas appreciated.
