Yesterday I had the stall and today it finally threw a code. PO193 and that is the fuel rail sensor reports high.

Compared to our 2011 Honda CRV This car has never, ever gotten the gas mileage I thought it should and it has always been hard to control the throttle. I would not move the pedal and I could feel a surge.

This car is starting to give my jaguars a run for their money on the amount of money spent on repairs.

 

Most common is the fuel pressure sensor on the fuel rail.

 

Whining a bit (as usual) but that is where I am headed first.

On all my other cars I know where it is located but I need to hunt for it on the V50.

 

On the end of the fuel rail, partially obscured by the upper timing cover.

 

Thank you.

I'll check it out as soon as the rain stops long enough for me to remove the turbo tube and cover.

Usually when I work with fuel pressure replacement things I'll pull a fuse, start the car, run it dry and then replace the part.

 

No need to remove the turbo pipe.

Pulling the fuse will work as you mentioned. You can also release the pressure from the Schrader valve and then put a couple rags under the sensor to catch the fuel that spills out. Either way works.

 

Thanks.

I thought that without burning off the gas (pulling fuse) the Schrader might throw more gas out than I care to deal with but maybe I'll just do the Schrader.

Even though there has not been another stall or another code, I ordered a new one and it should be here by Friday.

I don't want that thing to totally fail while I am on a trip, etc.

 

The part in hand this morning and I was going to change the pressure sensor. It hasn't thrown another code but because it threw one code I'll change it.

Wasn't sure which fuse to pull --- I was looking under the hood for a fuel pump fuse and didn't see one.
So.........

Got rags and went to the Schrader valve. The car was cold, sat all night and there wasn't that much pressure behind the valve or a lot of gas. Hm?

Removed all the bits to get to the sensor and then I had to stop. The Torx size I need fit on my 1/4 inch (small) wrench. Not enough room between the motor mount bits and the Torx.

Put everything back together and will buy some tools to do it at a later date. It is a little tight and just in case after removing it, if it slips from my hands I have to remember to place my safety rag below the Torx.

 

A ratcheting bit driver will do the trick, that's what I use.

 

Went out and bought a 90 degree ratchet screw driver and the correct Torx driver. After having the correct tool, from start to finish was about 10 minutes.

Has not thrown a code.
