Possible bad metering valve or a faulty pressure sensor?

...and the CRUA (and CVCA) use solenoid operated injectors, like the CKRA.

I'm gonna have to try and get my car to get CEL. Driving down my road on way home car just cuts out with flashing glow plug light , was able to coast into my driveway. Turn car off, restart, and no cel. Not sure if it's same kinda problem OP had.

Try to make it happen again. The first time it happened to ours, there was no MIL, just the flashing GP light and limp mode. I turned the car off and then back on and when it went into limp mode the second time the MIL came on with the flashing GP light. Even if the MIL doesn't come on, there's still a code stored that you can read if you have access to VCDS, or you can have it read at your F.L.A.P.S.I'm gonna have to try and get my car to get CEL. Driving down my road on way home car just cuts out with flashing glow plug light

Yep, got problems now. left house to go to town- happened 3 times before I got to end of my road(1.5 miles) , then when I started it up 3rd time and pulled away from shoulder I gunned it and the CEL was triggered along with flashing glow plug light. Re started again. At end of road waiting to turn, stalled again. Backed up and turned around, twice more on way home. When light starts flashing, no throttle response and when it slows down enough it stalls. The last time it stalled I tried restarting without turning off-just cranked for couple seconds. Turned ignition off, restarted fine. Made it home. CEL still on. Only code is P2149-voltage supply for fuel injector Group B/ open circuit. Google didn't return much, couple non-English YouTube videos. Only thread I saw on here was for an '09, they replaced a wiring harness...this code was from a Zurich scanner, tomorrow I'll see if the VCDS comes back with more info.... don't think I'd be able to drive it to dealer about 45 miles away, but will wait till windshield gets replaced on Thursday before contacting dealer....

Why are you using some generic scanner if you have VCDS?

Will be using the VCDS today, weather is much better. Car is basically undrivable on the road anyway, so it's only gonna get towed later this week to a dealer. Won't be till after Thursday, Safelite coming to house to mount windshield that day...

I'm pretty sure your issue is different from ours. The car drove fine as long as I was gentle on the throttle. I drove it from Westerly to Baltimore at 65 MPH on Rt 95 most of the way without it going into limp mode. Mash the throttle, BINGO...

It's silly to have the ability to see what's wrong and not to make use of it. Vehicles usually go into limp mode because they are trying to save themselves.
At least do a full scan and save it so that when the shop calls you to tell you what's wrong you have some info in order to decide if it seems legit or if they are just pulling your leg.

I'm new to VCDS, so I'm nervous about using it in fear of messing something up, especially on the '15 . What would I do a full scan of? I started car, took a little longer to start. Opened hood, engine has more of a shake than it used to. Took it around the block, probably around 3 miles, drove fine but CEL still on. Had a little more info on speed and such of when it happened. At least the CEL didn't disappear...

Browse the RossTech site so you get familiar with how to use the tool you have.... no point in having such a capable tool if you don't know how to use it at all.
You can also check their youtube channel. It has numerous videos on lots of procedures, etc.

I'm only suggesting that you pull the code because your "voltage supply" generic code could be a wiring issue... if that's the case, you'll be on the hook for both diagnostic and repair fees as the AEM warranty won't cover that..... so it will be good to know as much info about the error before you get the dealer calling you and telling you that they can fix it for a few $k worth of your dollars.

Welp, started car today and no CEL. Took it to wash it , 10 miles round trip, no problems, drove fine. Got home, parked in front of garage for windshield replacement tomorrow. Hooked VCDS up, did autoscan. Came back with P2149, voltage supply for fuel injector group B/open circuit. Just what the Zurich said. I did take engine cover off and inspected the wiring coming off injector plugs that weren't wrapped, no broken or worn through ones. Did not disconnect and reconnect injector plug connections. I cleared the DTC, and wait for CEL to come on again... I'll have to double check the AEW, I did get the top one...

Is this in reply to my P2149 code? It's been running and driving fine since last week when CEL went away on it's own....
No, not you
I found this video on Youtube, maybe related to your intermittent issue.

That's video I saw, but since I don't understand language, didn't watch it. Thank you for watching it, I'll check out the area he found melted ..No, not youThe guy speaks a foreign language but tell me at the 5:59 mark it appears he is showing the audience a melted sleeve causing a short on some wire? Edit: I found your original thread, you mentioned having seen a foreign language video, so you likely saw it already. Disregard then.

My harness looked a little flat where it was touching that housing, but wasn't worn through.Over 3 weeks since CEL went off by itself and no issues so far. Can the code be deleted from the ecu, or will it remain forever?
correct me if I'm wrong but I once read that once a fault hits 256 times not detected on ignition cycles, it clears from the ecu? That may be incorrect or very outdated but you could clear it with a scan tool. Edit: yeah Im sure you dont have an 8 bit ECU from the early 90s so you're gonna have to clear it
