04 Ford Transit 2.4 350T diesel power loss?

New engine (Long block)12 months ago, went fine for 9 months then started surging (small) at 2700 RPM with power loss when on a hill. Injector pump rebuilt by Bosch, no improvement. Blanked EGR valve (exhaust),stopped surging but still loss of power at 2700 RPM.
Turbo boosts to 16 PSI and holds. No error codes on Bosch diagnostic computor. Starts fine. Plenty of power to 2700 then reduction occures. On flat ground will climb past 2700. Problem only under power.
Any thoughts?.

Had loss of power in general 2.4 d.i. especially on hills. Noticed soot in engine bay from plastic inlet manifold. Had to buy 2hand and reglue it. Weakness in middle section. Like a new again. Loc 404 + Q bond. So far so good. Experiment with glue first. Powder in deep crack first 1 mm then opposite on surface.

after spending a fortune listening to ford,a freind told me it was a dirty sensor on the end of the injector rack.Clean it and "happy days".He was right!

I have the same problem with mine ,
had a new engine at 103,000
i got it at 134,000
since then , new fuel pump , new egr,
always been useless on hills.
ford say that its needs another fuel pump , timing chain and fuel injectors,
would like a 2nd opinion before i spend 3,000 quid at ford, as they told me it was the egr that was causing the issues and it wasnt

The problem with Ford transit T350 90ps is the Electronic side of the fuel pump, it has happend to many of my customers, 95 out of 118 90ps transits with this problem have been that!!
Now you want to know what to do... Well here it is ... Step 1. Remove your Bosch fuel pump from your transit (Expert only can do this) Step 2: goto www.dieselpumprepairs.com and fill out a submission form, plus have a look round there web site!! Best thing is ... No problem .. No charge!!!!! then once they have repaired it refit it, put it on a GOOD code reader and clear all faults. Ohh and whilst it is off Take the EGR valve off, goto motorsave and buy a big tin of carb and choke cleaner and clean your egr out compleatly but DO NOT touch the sensor inside it with anything (you can spray it) this will use 80%of the tin to clean.. then refit everything and hey presto good as new!!

Here is a couple of things to check out on these as well : check battery terminals, Make sure it is a very tight and CLEAN fit...

Look under the bonnet and make sure everysensor is in and on securly. (especailly the one at the very front above the radiator, will have a long cable going from one side of engine to the top of the sensor, they F**k up all the time, and have been known to throw other sensors off..

Finally either upgrade your fuel filter housing (air leak) or if a bit skint put something round it to make an airtight seal between the filter and the housing, But remember you do need to change the filter every 6000 or so miles!!.
