Symptoms

  • Possible hard starting or long cranking
  • Possible reduced power or cutting out
  • MIL illuminated

Possible causes

  • Fuel pressure sensor
  • Wiring
  • PCM failure

Recommended checks

  • Read specified vs actual rail pressure at cranking, idle and load
  • Check low-pressure supply (pressure/volume) first
  • Check control valve/regulator operation
  • Measure injector return flow where applicable
  • Inspect wiring and connectors of pressure components
