Technical 2001 scudo jtd 110 p0230 / p00CC

2001 scudo jtd 110bhp ,

hi folks, righty , van was running fine (apart from needing an injector seal sorted ) but all of a sudden the ecu light came on and it dropped in power. its showing P0230 ( fule pump circuit malfunction) and the other P00CC which i dont know what that is (cheap ebay code reader). the car did this and cleared with the code reader and was fine for 30 miles then the ecu light came back on and power dropped to what i assume to be limp mode. i understand the leaky injector seal is an issue and that was due to be addressed anyway, but now this has happened. one symptom is the van runs on for 2 secs quite lumpy though, after the key is removed. also, the 3 solenoids at the front of the engine that are together (right infront of you when you open the bonnet) one makes a buzzing whining noise that fades after the engine stops. can you tell me what those 3 solenoids are for and if any are likely to be assosciated with the problem. the van got me home (just) but cut out 8 times and if you let the reves drop suddenly even when in gear the engine would die, stop turn it off and restart and it would go again... it slowly got worse and eventually if i didnt keep it revving slightly when coasting (foot in the clutch) it would konk out. i have replaced the double relay and have same symptoms , tonight i removed all fuses and other relays and checked the connections, removed the injector connections and checked them and also the ones for the 3 solenoids at the front of the engine. when i did this the error codes cleared and the van idled for a few minutes then it came back and cut out again and the ecu light came on again.

any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys!!

Gordy!

righty.....Cleaned the solenoids out using clutch cleaner , cleaned all the connections to the injectors doing the same..... stuck now!!

ill need to get it to a proper diagnostic code reader and see if it gives us a bit more info!!

checnged the fuel rail pressure sensor and that never solved it so i changed the valve on the deisel pump and its all good now ...thanks for the help -_-

Sometimes people don't know and can't help.

Write-ups are really useful.

Thank you for doing one!

Where and what is this valve? i have a scudo van which isnt starting the engine starts on easy start but only runs till the easy start runs out it seems although you here the pump engage the injectors are not squirting and am unsure if this is a imobiliser problem or a fueling problem

Do you know what kind of code reader would be best to pin point the problem?
