Transit Diesel, 2.5Ltr. Lower poered one, no details here.
Just had a company van die and run on 3 cyl's (feels like) on the M8. Power was great and is now down, no real acceleration under load, fine on the flat.
Tried injector cleaner, no oil issues, no overheat.
There's a modification to the injector return hose routing, as the front injector air locks with the original set-up. The return hose originally goes from the rear (lowest) injector to the return line at the fuel filter head. The modification is to fit a longer return hose, and connect it to the front (highest) injector where the blanking plug is, and put the blank on the rear injector.
I've never quite understood how re-routing the hose makes any difference, but it does.
Also, check all the diesel pipes for any chaffed sections. Especially around the top of the bell housing/rear of engine, where they clip into the support bracket.
Just replaced the pipe as suggested in the TIS and on the group. The van took about 5 miles to start clearing and is running well right now. Hopefully the problem is cleared now.
