As I was looking over the turbo impeller (stock Holset..110K miles) I reached down to see if there if there was any play in the impeller shaft. There was. Not much but I could feel it.
What, if any, is acceptable play in the impeller shaft? I didn't get a measurement but could maybe get a feeler gauge in there and come up with something.

wife drove it and parked in driveway, when I went to move it, no start. 42k miles and the dealer replace the injection pump and installed an IN TANK lift pump. Last week I noticed the pressure was low, about 5 psi. It never had more than 7 with the new pump and the same gauge I had before. I'm afraid the pump has died, still showing 1/8 th fuel tank level. Darn we have put less than 3k miles since the new pump was installed.
should I drop the tank or is there an easier way to check; where is a good spot to trace the wire from the ECM to the pump? ]]> 24 Valve Engine and Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) emarsh http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/24-valve-engine-transmission-1998-5-2002/217839-no-start.html http://www.turbodieselregister.com/forums/24-valve-engine-transmission-1998-5-2002/217837-engine-swap-no-tach.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:53:11 GMT swapped a 2001 into a 1999 body and now I am having issues with no tach and runs ruff. do I need to change cmp pin on ecu or something? stealership is saying need to change cam gear for lots of moneys removing cam is not my favorite idea of fun weekend has any one else had this problem swapped a 2001 into a 1999 body and now I am having issues with no tach and runs ruff.

Does it operate the same way as the IAT sensor (just measuring pressure instead)? If so, how do you test it?

Does anyone know anything about these codes. I think that the vp is fine because they are both a voltage code it makes me think i have a power problem.

- My 09 w/ about 4,800 miles had a couple of table spoons of water and no WIF light. Don't know how much it takes to set it off, but don't think I want to find out.

- My 02 w/ FASS had about a half pint of water at about 12K miles. Interesting the water was pure...no smell of diesel or oily residue. The water/fuel separator on the FASS is amazing

- need to check my wife's 03 and the 93 yet

Bottom line, problably not a bad idea to drain the water/fuel separator once a month.

doesn't hurt to be cautious.
