lincsoldbird Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Does any body know why my 2000 P38 has loss power and will not rev over 3250? I have changed the fuel filter. No lights on the dash. Starts and ticks over fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No lights on the dash. Starts and ticks over fine. Petrol or Diesel? 2.5, 4.0 or 4.6? Auto or Manual? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon_CSK Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Is the power loss all the time or just occasionally? Does it produce Black smoke? I had this on my Disco 2 and it turned out to be a cracked pipe to the turbo I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncmc Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 I am guessing that it is a diesel from the P38 "D" title. Blocked air filter, or problem restricting air into the engine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincsoldbird Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 I have tried all above with no results, seems to have gone in to limp mode, so have sent for a code reader. Will let you know the outcome when it arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 is it still changing up thru all 4 gears in auto ? Or is it in third all the time ? cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P38 Paul Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Will it rev over 3250 when its not in gear ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincsoldbird Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 It will not go fast enough to get up into 4 gear and no it will not rev over 3250 at all. Code reader arrived but will not talk to the car so thats going back. Why do cars need electronics?, my tractor stands all winter and always starts in spring.

steve b Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Does it pull away in first and go thru second and into third ? Or is it in third at pull away? the second suggests limp mode - boost pressure sensor not signalling , the first may point to lack of boost ? I take it 3250 rpm in third is less than 55mph? can't recall just now cheers Steveb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincsoldbird Posted September 12, 2015 Author Share Posted September 12, 2015 It pulls away in first and goes thru second and into third very slowly. It will not rev to 3250 in drive. Does the turbo have any effect below 2000 rpm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincsoldbird Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 As any one had number 4 injector senser go down? and what was the effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincsoldbird Posted November 29, 2015 Author Share Posted November 29, 2015 Still can.t solve the problem now it starts but will not run. It is showing no engine faults on a Lynx fault reader. Got to get it fixed its to good to scrap. On the up side anyone with a P38 in the Boston area of Lincs who needs faults reading PM me.
