Greets,
I have a good question for you guys.
After a swap from a tdi vp 110 to a ARL pd150 on my G4, and I don't think there isnt anything wrong with the swap but an engine problem.
The engine starts ok, amb temp around here is 10°C so no glow plugs needed, but on the first minute, misfires at idle,
After the first minute runs ok at idle and only misfire if I step the throttle.
When the engine gets a little bit warm, around 40°C, it runs perfect, pulls very well, absolute 100%.
Picking up codes, I only get fuel pump relay, but because the lift pump is wired directly from the fuse box, and i'm getting 3l/min of diesel flow.
Checked the pressure on tandem pump, at the side port, i get pressure 15psi at idle and around 50psi at 1500rpms.
Change 4 injectores but the injectores aren't new, so not sure if they're ok.
I cant figure out wich cylinder misfires because all the injectors deviation go wild when misfires, and when they are stable, they all are bellow 1.00 mg/r dev.
To me, it feels like fuel starvation, smokes white just a little bit when cold.
Fuel filter is not that old, installed clear fuel lines, no air and no oil, I get a stream of bubbles, about the size of an inch when it starts, but appart from that diesel comes and goes nicely.
Last week I removed the sump to check the rods, all of them are nice and straight.
Haven't done a compression test yet, and didnt measure the return flow of tandem pump (how important is that diagnosis?)
Camshaft looks ok, sounds ok, but I hear a tapping, more when I rotate the engine by hand and then start it, which could indicate a lifter needing a replace.
Any more ideas to find the problem?
