Hello everyone, I have a 2009 Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet. The car is extremely hard to start but starts easier without the fuel rail pressure sensor plugged in. I have replaced the injector seals and the fuel rail pressure sensor but the problem still persists. I’ve tried EGR cleaner which didn’t help at all, I took the solenoid off the EGR (which did have a spec of dirt on it or inside) to check the plunger thing and that moves freely. The wastegate arm moves freely when using a vacuum pump on the boost hose. I’ve checked the fuel filter for glunk or dirt but it is clean. I’ve also put the intake under pressure from the air box to see if there’s any leaks, I can hear a small leak but I can’t see it being big enough to cause this problem. All fuses are okay too.
Once I get the car running it will not rev above 2000rpm but it idles okay. The only code I get an error for is the sensor (obviously when I start the car by unplugging it) and a code for the particular filter being clogged. I tried to do a regen via multiecuscan but where the car cannot rev past 2000rpm it doesn’t regen. Is there something I’m missing? I’ve checked the fuel lines to ensure they’re tight but I’m running out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
