My van will start idle and rev up but when I take my foot of the accelerator pedal the injector light flashes on and it will not rev over 1500 for about 5 seconds. It then goes out and is fine until I take my foot off the accelerator pedal again. I have replaced the accelerator pedal and it is still doing it any ideas?

The van is a 51 reg Iveco daily 35s11 2.8 turbo (old parcelforce van)

Have u checked inline lift pump on left chassis rail common for jamming I had same problems I've took mine out as doesn't really need it

I have a similar issue with my 35s13 2.8 I turbo inter cooled. Mine will just cut out and the injector light will flash 5 or 6 times and get going again. This will happen anytime and will even cut out on flat going and on cruise control, up hill or down and even in 3,4,5,6 gear.
Some times it will go for 120-150 Kim's without doing it then will do it 20 times in5klms, but will keep doing it till the engine stops and cooled down.
I have replaced all hoses and clamps and checked fuel pressure to the high pressure pump and there is NO air in the system at all.
I have checked the contacts on the sensors and my next venture will be to locate a obd reader to check the ECU and circuits?????
If anyone can enlighten me as to the cause I will certainlly be appreciated and shout a beer.

the problen is the crank .. check end float if there is a lot the crank move back n forth and the crank sensor dosent pick up it signal it also it give you a oil leak

the worst van that was ever made !!!

I have very similar problems. Red injector light comes on and seems to run on 3 cylinders. Switch engine off and runs fine until rev'd over 1500rpm. Dodgey injector? Anyway to find out which one without plug-in?

Gillis, June 2009

reading around, it's a common problem with these vans (mine does it oo)

from what I've read, most main dealers will replace the wiring loom to fix it (££££££££)

but apparently it's nearly always the connection on the top of the 3rd or 4th injector working lose ?

try united vans in england for the pump.

gareth, May 2008

the high head pressure pump is faulty follow the red fuel pipe to the pump on the passanger side of the engine near the bottom. we had the same problem this solved it.

Did anybody solve this. I have just serviced one on nightshift tonight and it is doing exactly the same. Tried several filters but no better. Bled it for ages through filter head bleed screw using vehicles electric fuel pump. Even bled it at all 4 injectors in turn. I have left it for the day shift to have a go at tomorrow morning so when I go back in tomorrow night I may have an answer for you guys.

Rich, May 2008

Thanks I was thinking that but i checked out other possibilities first because this is going to hurt my wallet.

Tom scott, April 2008
