Hi all
I have an 04 zd30 in my vehicle, started noticing that I have a power issues.
No smoke, fuel usage was fine, no fault code...
Noticed that I can't go up a hill without going down to 4th and maybe third gear sometimes. Checked fuel filters, then replaced them. Checked the tank, it was clean.
Replaced fuel lines thinking I might be getting aircraft in somewhere, not it. Checked vacuum lines, everything was fine.
The battery died on me, so I replaced the battery hoping it might be a low voltage problem. No luck there either.
Then just for the heck of it I tried to bypass the valve on the throttle body closest to the firewall, and noticed that while idling and me working there the idling became eratic
So I checked and wiggled the wiringloom and there it was. A few wires had rubbed against eachother and opened up causing what I can only say is mixed up communication between the pump and ecu.
I am no Mechanic, and I know just enough to help myself and repair some, not all issues.
when I just got this engine I had a code 0707, blink code. I found that the VP44 pump had 2 wires at the back of the pump that also rubbed the lining off, causing my 0707 code, sealed them up and now I have had many happy km's behind me.
Hope this can help someone someday
Cheers
